Specialist physician for the external team in Ophthalmology, Aarhus University Hospital

A position as a specialist doctor with a focus on external ophthalmic surgery and orbital diseases is available to be filled on January 1, 2027, or by agreement.

We offer an exciting and challenging job in a high professional environment, where you have the opportunity to develop and contribute to a good patient pathway. You will join a large and inspiring specialist group, where you will be responsible for external ophthalmic surgery and orbital function in a well-functioning team. You will also oversee an additional subspecialty, depending on abilities, interests and the department's needs. Please indicate wishes and motivation for this in the application. Training will be organized where necessary.

The position is desired to be filled by a specialist in ophthalmology who has demonstrated professional background and surgical experience to manage the subspecialty, and who purposefully will continue to develop their competencies and contribute to the development of the field and the professional profile in eye diseases. You must be able and willing to take professional and organizational responsibility, in close collaboration with the team-lead specialist and with department management.

There is already a close and good collaboration between subspecialty teams in the department and with related specialties, including plastic surgery. This collaboration is preferably prioritized and further developed going forward. Supervision and training of younger doctors is a natural part of the task, as well as training and sparring with the department's training doctors.

Documented scientific experience is an advantage, and the application should include thoughts on how the applicant can contribute to the continued development of the clinical areas covered by the position.

Eye diseases is a university department with several highly specialized functions within the specialty, which places great emphasis on interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration within clinical practice, education and research.

We have an exciting daily life with a large flow of outpatient and surgical patients within all ophthalmic functions and are rapidly developing. We work strategically and focused to strengthen the field at the highest level both locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

The department has a high research activity led by the department's chair professor. Research takes place in widespread collaboration with other departments/institutions and with other national and international research networks.

Salary and employment terms in accordance with the collective agreement. The position is a full-time position, but with the possibility of buy-out for research. The employment is conditional on a satisfactory child-safety certificate (børneattest) and authorization.
