The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.
At the Institute of Biomedicine, the scientific focus is in understanding the fundamental aspects of the cells of the body —what they consist of, how they function, how their behaviour is governed by genetics, and how they interact with various types of microorganisms. With this knowledge, we strive to elucidate the causes of different disease states and discover new opportunities for diagnosis and treatment.

Involvement in dissections include management and preparation of donors as well as acting as course examiner.
Duties
In the employment, extensive teaching in anatomy within the medical program is included. The position holder will also be a course leader/examiner in one of the anatomy courses.
