Scientific Collaborator in Human Medicine 80-100%

Who are we?

The human medicine studies at the University of Fribourg train students both theoretically and clinically-practically and are offered bilingually – in German and French. Over the three years of study, approximately 400 students are trained each year at the bachelor level and 120 at the master level. The studies prepare for the federal human medicine exam and are based on the national competency framework PROFILES.

The scientific collaborator is integrated into the Med-Office of the Medicine Section and works for both programmes. He or she works under the responsibility of the chairpersons of the Bachelor and Master human medicine study commissions and in close collaboration with the coordinators of the two programmes.

Why join us?

We offer a varied and responsible role at the interface of two medical programmes, in a dynamic academic and clinical environment. The scientific collaborator would have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing study reforms and concrete curriculum projects and would be integrated within a committed, bilingual and supportive team.
