Cardiology seeks a temporary replacement for a project nurse at Aarhus University Hospital

Would you like to work with heart patients who are involved in research projects? As a project nurse, you will primarily be responsible for tasks related to the inclusion of patients in scientific studies as well as follow-up of these patients in close collaboration with other project staff.

The project nurse will handle ongoing and new projects. In our project portfolio, we focus among other things on patients who are on anticoagulant therapy due to mechanical heart valve, as well as patients with hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The research team has strong competencies with great accessibility in a flat structure.

Two project nurses are attached to each research project, and there is also close collaboration with the medical research leader and external partners, including pharmaceutical companies. The project nurse works independently on patient studies and data handling, blood sampling, ECG recording, eCRF etc.

The temporary position is funded by research funds and is, as a rule, a full-time position with shifts every 4 weeks in Cardiac Diseases. If a different distribution between clinical work and research or a lower number of hours is desired, this can be discussed during the employment interview.

The temporary position is initially from December 1, 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter until September 30, 2027, but good possibilities for extension are expected.

We offer

• an exciting and dynamic workplace with functions that continue to develop
• training, guidance and close collaboration in an interdisciplinary research group with main emphasis on conducting clinical trials
• a role with many touchpoints in and outside the department, nationally and internationally
• liaison roles as well as coordinating and administrative tasks
• flexible working hours arrangement.

We are seeking a project nurse who

• is good at creating an overview and has experience dealing with logistical challenges
• is good at solving multiple tasks in parallel
• has good English skills
• is familiar with IT at user level
• is independent, flexible and can collaborate cross-functionally
• has initiative and a desire for new challenges
• minimum 3 years of experience with heart patients
• experience from employment as a project nurse is an advantage, but not a requirement to apply for the position.

Questions can be directed to Chief Physician Erik Lerkevang Grove at tel. 4014 2993 or by email [email protected], or to project nurse Dorthe Brink Wellendorf at tel. 2421 2590 or by email [email protected].

Salary and employment terms in accordance with the applicable collective agreement. The employment is subject to a satisfactory child-related background check and a satisfactory authorization.

A probationary period of the first 3 months of employment may be expected (only applicable to new hires)

We expect to hold interviews on 28 October 2026.

The position is, as a rule, a full-time position.

As Region Midtjylland continually implements savings and reorganizations, employees in redeployment who apply for the position will have priority.
