An important part of the work will be to develop an academical leadership within pedagogy and research within the field of internal medicine.

The Senior Lectureship will be combined with clinical duty as specialist trained physician at the Department of Internal Medicine at Södersjukhuset, where clinical experience and knowledge is of great importance to be able to organize the clinical education and research in the best way possible.
