University ST Physician in the Northern Healthcare Region

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES The position involves 50% research time over four years or 33% over six years with clinical specialist training (ST) during the remaining time. After four or six years, the employment transitions to a regular ST physician at 100% for the remainder of the time until specialist certification. The university ST physician position can be extended by the holder arranging research funding independently. In the Northern Healthcare Region, there are central research funds in the ALF system specifically allocated for junior researchers (according to the Research Council's definition) with the possibility of three-year project grants that can also be used for personal salary. QUALIFICATIONS Licensed physician who has completed a doctorate and intends to continue research at a postdoctoral level, with a doctoral degree no older than 3 years. Licensing date no later than 2026-08-31 and doctoral degree from 2022-11-03 or later, but no later than the final application date of 2024-11-16. Deductible time after dissertation includes parental leave, illness, mandatory military service, trade union and student organization assignments, international postdoc, and medical program and AT studies. If an applicant already employed as an ST physician in the relevant regions is granted this position, their current employment will change to University ST Physician. To qualify as an already employed ST physician, one must be able to utilize the entire allocated time as a University ST Physician before specialist certification. This means they must have at least 24 months of full-time clinical service remaining in their ongoing ST at the time of appointment. Remaining time until specialist certification must be specified and calculated from the start date. The project will be assessed based on innovation, originality, scientific quality, the applicant's competence, and project feasibility. University ST applications will be evaluated by an assessment group appointed by the ALF Committee, with representatives from Umeå University and regions in the Northern Healthcare Region. Final ranking of applications will be made by the ALF Committee based on the assessment group's proposal. To be considered, research must be conducted at the Faculty of Medicine at Umeå University and fall within the ALF framework, i.e., high-quality clinical research with clear patient or population benefit and relevance to healthcare, and/or transnational research with clear clinical relevance. OTHER NOTE! In addition to the electronic application, the applicant must attach the following appendices in a link to be emailed within a few days after submission: 1) Complete curriculum vitae including a copy of licensing certificate and doctoral degree proof. 2) Publication list (all publications must be listed; peer-reviewed scientific original works in international journals should be listed separately first; complete author list for each publication) 3) Research program of max 10 pages (Swedish or English). The research program must include a calculation of how the planned research will be financed (beyond the funded research time).
