Are you a pediatrician 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 pediatric hospitals? Then it's you we are looking for.

About the position

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

What do we offer?

A top-class professional environment. HCABU handles Region of Southern Denmark's highly specialized function in 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 fully trained neonatology expert available while you build your competencies.

Clinical breadth and variation. Your tasks range from ward rounds and outpatient functions 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 the Region of Zealand.

A vibrant research environment. There is significant research output in neonatology, led by a professor in the field. Clinical research is an integrated part of daily practice.

Stable and meaningful shift structure. The shift pattern aims to be 12-shift with a mix of on-site duty or on-call shifts depending on competencies and needs.

A collegial and multidisciplinary community. We prioritize team collaboration and interaction with psychologists, educators, therapists, social workers and nursing staff. In total we are about 420 employees at HCABU.

About you

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