The posting

A clinical position as consultant of Otorhinolaryngology at the Department of ORL, Head and neck surgery and audiology at Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet is open for appointment from as soon as possible.

The position is combined with a 5-year externally funded position as clinical professor in Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Oncology at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.

It is a requirement that the applicant is accepted for appointment of both the professorship and the consultancy.

The advertisement for the professorship is available from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.

About the department

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Audiology is responsible for the full spectrum of diagnostics and treatment within the ENT and audiological fields, encompassing both general patient care and highly specialized services. A total of more than 100 clinically active physicians is employed within the department. In addition, there is a high level of research activity, including among the clinical staff. The department currently has five formally affiliated professors, three of whom are clinical professors in otorhinolaryngology. As a university hospital department, it also has teaching obligations at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including for healthcare professionals beyond the medical field of both the primary and secondary health sector.

Clinical functions and focus areas of the department

The consultant position in head and neck surgery requires a strong interest and proven surgical expertise within malignant head and neck surgery. The ideal candidate will demonstrate solid experience in teaching and research, including involvement in undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as supervision of PhD students. Emphasis is placed on candidates with a robust, long-standing, and continuous research background. The candidate is expected to have extensive knowledge and research experience with head and neck cancer epidemiology and documented experience with national registries and particularly with HPV-driven head and neck cancer. A broad knowledge of benign ENT conditions is also expected. Further the candidate should be active and involved in thyroid cancer research.

The position offers significant opportunities for further specialization and skill development within advanced surgical techniques, including the potential for training in robotic surgery. The consultant will also be expected to take on administrative responsibilities such as patient triage and task coordination.

As the department provides highly specialized ENT services at a university level, applicants must have documented surgical experience and a demonstrated research interest.

Applicants must submit documentation of board certification in Otorhinolaryngology. According to the regulations of the Capital Region of Denmark, applicants must have held a specialist certification for at least five years to be appointed as a consultant at Rigshospitalet, unless an exemption is granted. Furthermore, applicants must provide evidence of clinical experience within head and neck surgery, as well as documentation of scientific and educational activities.

Strong collaboration skills are essential, including the ability to work professionally and constructively in interdisciplinary teams.

Organizationally, the consultant will report to the Head of Department. For professional matters related specifically to head and neck surgery, reference will be made to the lead consultant in that subspecialty.

We offer a dynamic and rewarding position in a busy and active department housed in brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities. The position includes excellent opportunities for involvement in research and clinical development.

Work Schedule: The position includes on-call duty (approximately every 14 days), shared equally among the department’s consultants.

Salary and terms of employment will follow the applicable collective agreement.

Please note: The position is subject to regulations requiring a child protection certificate ("børneattest"). Employment is contingent upon the ability to present a clean certificate.

Research and teaching

With the establishment of the new position as Consultant in Otorhinolaryngology and Clinical Professor in Oto-rhino-laryngology with special focus on Head & Neck Surgery, the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery and Audiology seek to significantly strengthen leadership and strategic development within clinical research and teaching. The professorship is conceived as a pivotal academic and clinical role that will unify and advance research activities across the specialty, with a particular emphasis on translational and interdisciplinary head and neck research.

The position will serve as an academic anchor not only for Rigshospitalet but also for Nordsjællands Hospital and, more broadly, for Region Østdanmark (RØST), with the explicit ambition of fostering coordinated research efforts across Eastern Denmark. The clinical professor is expected to provide academic leadership, facilitate collaboration between hospital departments and regional research environments, and contribute to the development of shared research strategies and priorities across institutions.

In research, the position entails responsibility for initiating, leading, and consolidating high-quality clinical and translational research programmes within head and neck surgery and related disciplines. This includes strengthening existing research groups, promoting multicentre and cross-regional studies, supporting early-career researchers, and ensuring integration of research activities across hospitals within RØST. The professor will play a key role in attracting external funding, enhancing national and international visibility, and embedding research as a core component of clinical practice throughout Eastern Denmark.

In teaching, the position carries responsibility for academic leadership in undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing medical education within otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery. The professor will contribute to curriculum development, pedagogical innovation, and supervision at all levels, ensuring alignment between clinical training, academic standards, and regional workforce needs. Teaching activities will be coordinated across clinical sites, thereby supporting a unified and high-quality educational environment for medical students, residents, and fellows within RØST.

Overall, the position is designed to function as a unifying professorship that integrates research, teaching, and clinical excellence across Nordsjællands Hospital, the wider hospital network in RØST, and academic partners, thereby strengthening the academic foundation and future development of the specialty across Eastern Denmark.
