Professor or Associate Professor of Medicine
The Institute of Clinical Medicine has a vacant position as Professor or Associate Professor (depending on academic qualifications) at the Division of Diagnostics and Intervention, Department of Pathology. The full-time (100%) professorship is combined with a part-time (20%) senior consultant position at Oslo University Hospital.
Department of Pathology at Oslo University Hospital was formed from merging pathology departments of four previously separate hospitals. At present, the department is run as an integrated unit within Radiumhospitalet, Rikshospitalet and Ullevål University Hospital where scientific and diagnostic themes are distributed in order to optimise the basis for high quality science and teaching as well as to serve clinical activities. The main research topics are within cancer, immunopathology, inflammation and degenerative diseases. It is expected that a significant part of the research projects aim at improving diagnostic methods and precision.
Job description
The present position will be located at Radiumhospitalet and the successful applicant will be responsible for research within molecular pathology. The successful candidate is expected to have a strong research background in molecular pathology, preferably also experience in translational research. It is expected that the successful candidate will establish a competitive, dynamic and future-oriented research group that will attract PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. Ability to create an attractive research environment and to establish national and international research networks as well as obtaining external research funding is considered essential.
Although the present position will be located to Radiumhospitalet, most of the teaching activities will take place at Rikshospitalet and Ullevål University Hospital. The location of the position can be subject to change depending on the department’s activities.
The person appointed will lead and initiate research, supervise PhD students, participate in teaching undergraduate and graduate students, undertake duties in connection with examinations, as well as administrative tasks as required by regulations. The faculty is responsible for teaching (including conducting examinations) the programmes of professional study in medicine and the faculty's bachelor and master programmes. The faculty is also responsible for providing organised research training. The professorial duties include teaching these groups, in accordance with the current needs of the faculty, limited by the guidelines for working hours in professorial positions. The person appointed is expected to participate in adjudication committees for PhD theses, assessment committees regarding appointments and competence promotions, and to assume the role as acting dean in disputations.
Requirements
It is required that the person appointed holds an MD and has sufficient experience in clinical pathology to teach all aspects of both general and organ pathology to medical students.
A 20% position as consultant pathologist at the Oslo University Hospital is combined with the full time professorship. The job description of the clinical work will be adapted to the qualifications of the successful candidate.
Interpersonal skills and the ability to create an attractive research environment, plans for research and ambitions relating to the applicant's personal teaching practice will be emphasised. It will be expected that the applicant has extensive experience in obtaining external funding for research projects. As a main rule, interviews will be conducted and references collected. Applicants may also be requested to give a trial lecture.
The basis of assessment of the applicants will include their scientific, other professional, teaching and qualifications related to publicising (externally oriented professional activity), together with their qualifications in management and administration. As part of the ranking of qualified applicants, the full scope of these qualifications will be explicitly assessed. Particular weight will be attached to qualifications that are central to the announcement and job description. Scientific qualifications will carry more weight than other qualifications.
In the final review and recommendation, emphasis will be laid on skills related to the announcement and job description, the evaluation done by the assessment committee, evaluation of personal suitability for the position based on interviews and references obtained, teaching qualifications and ability to obtain external funding and disseminate scientific knowledge, plans for research and ambitions for teaching practice.
