We are now seeking a clinical assistant for our research group within the field of disaster medicine. The position is time-limited for one year with a 50% employment rate. The duty station is Umeå, but work at other locations may occur. Duties The duties include primarily leading and conducting research and carrying out investigations within disaster medicine with a focus on prehospital care in disaster areas characterized by complex conditions. This includes acquiring knowledge and experience as well as developing methods and treatments used in prehospital health and medical care's acute management of the injured. This may involve special acute measures required because the disaster area is geographically remote or difficult to access for other reasons, during severe weather conditions, during certain types of transports, and in case of threat or risk of spreading of CBRN substances. Register analyses as well as individual and group interviews for qualitative analyses are examples of the research methods applied. The work includes medical responsibility in the development and creation of educational materials within the field. Administrative duties and some teaching may also be included. Qualifications We are looking for someone who is a licensed physician and has experience in research and investigations within disaster medicine, as well as demonstrated ability to implement research results in practice.
