About the position

As a licensed veterinarian at UDS, you will work in a varied clinical environment within a 24-hour operation at Sweden's only university animal hospital.

As SLU is the only higher education institution in Sweden providing education for veterinary and veterinary nursing professionals, you will have an active role in educating future veterinarians and veterinary nurses in the clinical setting.

You will be supported by our specialists and experienced colleagues within the team, enabling you to thrive in the clinical environment and develop in your professional role.

You are a licensed veterinarian with the right to practise veterinary medicine in Sweden. You have several years of clinical experience and are a confident emergency veterinarian, accustomed to making medical assessments and performing emergency surgery.
