Department of Women's Health

We are Akademiska Sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Here, something is always happening – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. With us, you will experience both tough trials and fantastic events, in a strong community with colleagues. We welcome your application!

Our Operations

The Department of Women's Health includes the Obstetrics Section and the Gynecology Section, including the Reproductive Medicine Center. Akademiska Sjukhuset is a university hospital, and we provide both outpatient and inpatient care for the Region and Uppsala County. We have high research activity and a significant educational responsibility. Our collaboration with the Department of Women's and Children's Health at Uppsala University is good and rewarding. We offer excellent opportunities for research. Our key words are humility, long-term perspective, and skill.

At the Reproductive Medicine Center at Akademiska Sjukhuset, investigations into involuntary childlessness are performed. We also perform most types of fertility treatments, such as ovulation stimulation, inseminations, IVF treatments, fertility-preserving treatments, as well as egg and sperm donation treatments. We investigate and treat both male and female infertility.

At the Reproductive Medicine Center, a large multidisciplinary team with long experience in advanced reproductive medicine treatment works with good results. We have regular, joint donation, physician, and ward meetings and collaborate across professional boundaries.

Your Role

The position is adapted based on your previous experience. If the applicant is a subspecialist in reproductive medicine, the work will include everything that is part of a subspecialist physician's competence, including egg retrieval, embryo transfer, reproductive clinic visits, and the opportunity to perform or learn to perform testis biopsy/micro-TESE. If the applicant is a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology with an interest in, but no or little previous experience in, reproductive medicine, a longer introduction to reproductive medicine and gynecological ultrasound is included (many of our colleagues are trained in advanced gynecological ultrasound). There is also an opportunity to have a gynecological endocrinology clinic under good supervision.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, with either subspecialist competence in reproductive medicine or an interest in reproductive medicine, for a 12-month fixed-term position at the Reproductive Medicine Center. For those with an interest, there are very good opportunities to learn a great deal about reproductive medicine and gain good qualifications for a future subspecialist application.

We would appreciate it if you have an interest in research and pedagogical merits.

Your Competence

At the Reproductive Medicine Center, colleagues rely heavily on each other to solve problems and drive development together. Development in the field is moving forward quickly, and new working methods are implemented continuously. Therefore, it is important that you, as an applicant, are creative, team-oriented, and curious.

We Offer

A one-year full-time fixed-term position at the Reproductive Medicine Center. Introduction and supervision by an experienced subspecialist in reproductive medicine based on your needs. On-call duties are included.
Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought employment, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by facultative record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and ad sales.
