Professorship/Qualification Fellowship in Medicine (Applied Physiology) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

The Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging (www.ntnu.no/isb) has a vacancy for Professor in Medicine (Applied Physiology).

The Department is located in a new Heart and Lung Centre at St Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway. It has 180 employees engaged in education, research and innovation in the following disciplines: Exercise, Cardiopulmonary and Environmental Physiology, Anaesthesiology, Cardiology and Pulmonary Medicine, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Radiology and Medical Imaging. The Department hosts the distinguished K.G. Jebsen Centre for Exercise in Medicine, the Medical Imaging Lab (Centre of Excellence) and the NTNU Magnetic Resonance Research Centre, and an international Master of Science programme of Exercise Physiology and Sports Sciences.
 
The Department has a long tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration with an outstanding record of innovation in medical ultrasound technology. Its research facilities include state of the art clinical, experimental, technological and basic science laboratories for all relevant disciplines. The strategic vision is an academic department working in concerted action with its adjacent clinical counterparts – where clinicians, technologists, translational scientists, and industrial innovators collaborate closely in interdisciplinary projects to meet the needs of health care.

The Professorship will have specific responsibility for education, research, and innovation within the discipline of Applied Physiology of environmental exposure to subsea (diving) and hyper- and hypobaric conditions. The research unit is internationally recognised for its expertise in decompression and occupational risks related to diving. Because of its relevance to oil industry and aqua culture, with excellent funding opportunities, this is expected to remain the strategic focus for research and innovation in the field.

The position requires extensive qualifications in the field, with a doctorate or comparable qualifications in medicine and/or physiology. Candidates with qualifications in biology or other relevant fields may also be considered. The applicant must have substantial research experience in clinical and experimental physiology relevant to the field, documented by excellent publications in leading journals, preferably covering the research chain from molecules and cells via physiological experiments to clinical science. He / she should have a documented ability of initiating, funding and supervising innovative research within the field. Excellent collaboration skills are essential.

The position may alternatively be defined as a qualification fellowship for a period of no longer than 3 years, for candidates who have proven their excellence, but are yet not fully qualified for professorship. At the end of this period of appointment, the candidate has the right to be evaluated for permanent employment as a professor prior to a new announcement being made for a vacant professorship.
Closing date for applications is April 26th., 2011. Further information regarding the position can be obtained from Head of Department, Professor Øyvind Ellingsen (oyvind.ellingsen@ntnu.no), phone +47-7282 8029.

Health and safety in diving is of major concern for the Norwegian diving industry. It is recognized that an improvement in safety can only be achieve through an increased knowledge of the basic mechanisms involved in the response to diving. Based on an initiative from the Norwegian Oil companies and Diving Industry, OLF, the Norwegian Research Council has proposed a major research program, Longer on the bottom safely (LOBOS),  lasting for a minimum of five years from January 2012. The program will focus the biological response to decompression, as this is regarded to be a major factor in unwanted outcome of the dives. The program will be led from Trondheim, there will be a number of research positions available here, they will be announced at a later date.
