Are you a consultant in pediatrics with a passion for the tiniest patients? Do you want to be part of a strong neonatal team at one of Denmark's most specialized children's hospitals? Then it's you we are looking for.

About the position

We are seeking, as of January 1, 2027, a consultant for our neonatal team. We are flexible regarding your background – either you already have expertise in neonatology, or we offer you a structured expert training program that will take you there. We invest in your development.

What do we offer?

A top-class professional environment. HCABU handles the Region of Southern Denmark's highly specialized functions within neonatology and pediatric surgery as well as the national function for congenital hyperinsulinism. You will become part of a team of 11 neonatologists, and there will always be a trained neonatology expert available while you build your competencies.

Professional breadth and variety. Your duties range from ward rounds and outpatient duties to neonatal transports – including highly specialized transports from across the region. In close collaboration with pediatric surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists and pediatric gastroenterologists we treat children with congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract for all of Western Denmark and parts of Region Zealand.

A vibrant research environment. There is a significant amount of research activity in neonatology, led by a professor in the field. Clinical research is an integral part of daily work.

Stable and meaningful shift structure. The shift is aimed to be 12-shift with a mixed shift at the workplace or on-call shift depending on competencies and needs.

A collegial and interdisciplinary community. We prioritise teamwork and collaboration with psychologists, educators, therapists, social workers and nursing staff. In total we are about 420 employees at HCABU.

About you

You are a consultant in pediatrics or anesthesiology, and you thrive with complex clinical problems and a close professional community. You enjoy contributing to teaching and collegial sparring, and you want to make a difference for the most vulnerable newborns and their families.
