Vacant job

Department of Clinical Sciences

We are currently seeking a clinical veterinarian with broad experience in small animal medicine and a specific interest in anesthesiology.

About the Job

Your primary responsibilities will include patient care and safety in daily clinical work, as well as supervising students, particularly in the areas of anesthesia and analgesia at the University Animal Hospital (UDS). Participation in on-call and emergency services is included in the employment.

In your daily work, you will be actively engaged in the clinical education of veterinary students, interns, and residents. You will also provide support and guidance to veterinary nurses. There is an opportunity to participate in ongoing clinical research, and you may also contribute to lectures, small group teaching, and examinations of veterinary students.

An important part of the position is to provide advice to and collaborate with veterinarians in other specialties, such as critical care and internal medicine. Regular consultations with veterinarians, including referring veterinarians, are also part of the duties.

Your Background

You hold a veterinary degree from Sweden, an EU/EEA country, or Switzerland, and are authorized to practice veterinary medicine in Sweden. It is an advantage if you are a licensed national specialist (Step 2) or an international specialist in the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ECVAA) or its American equivalent (ACVAA).

You have a good command of English and speak either a Scandinavian language or are willing to learn Swedish within approximately 2–3 years.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities. We value a professional approach, flexibility, teamwork, and a desire to contribute to a smooth workflow in the operating department.
