Consultant / Specialist Pathologist
If you are looking for exciting new challenges – read on!
Our concept is clear: integrated morphology, immunohisto/cytochemistry and molecular pathology.
We are looking for a consultant to join the multinational team at the Clinical Pathology Clinic, Laboratory Centre, Hospital of Southern Jutland, as soon as possible.
If you would like to participate in building up a unit for diagnosis and research with the emphasis on integrated diagnostics including molecular pathology, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to make your mark on the development of the unit.
The molecular pathology team has at its disposal a full range of modern equipment including a laser dissection microscope (LDM) and genetic analyses (GA). PhD students will be linked to the unit.
The primus motor and medical specialist in charge of the unit is a specialist in pathological anatomy and cytology, with specialised skills in molecular pathology.
The establishment of the unit will take the form of further development of a pre-existing unit for molecular pathology centred around the diagnosis of HPV in connection with screening for cervical cancer.
We are seeking specialists to join modern multidisciplinary diagnostic teams particularly within the major cancer categories – breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer and colorectal cancer – as well as a team for metastasis reporting. The department also operates a gynaecological unit, skin cancer unit and an ear, nose and throat unit.
We at the department place emphasis on inter-disciplinary collaboration, and we operate a well-developed apparatus for conferences, including video conferencing.
