The Department of Women’s and Children's Health conducts research, postgraduate training and teaching in reproductive health, gynecology, obstetrics, international women's and maternal health care, perinatal medicine, paediatrics, global health, women's medicine, and clinical psychology. The operation is integrated with the women's clinic and the children's hospital at Uppsala University Hospital. Within the research group Pediatric Oncological and Neurological Research, we work to improve the quality of life for children and adolescents with childhood cancer and pediatric neurological diseases, and their families, by increasing the understanding of clinical, biological and psychosocial aspects of these diseases.

More information about the research group is available at https://www.uu.se/en/department/womens-and-childrens-health/research/paediatrics-unit/pediatric-oncological-and-neurological-research.

Duties
You will have an important role in an ongoing research study investigating how it goes for people who have been treated for leukemia as children/adolescents. This involves a wide range of tasks such as:

- contact with staff in the region, other pediatric oncology units, as well as researchers locally, nationally and internationally.

As a research nurse (40%) within the study team, you will be part of our committed and enthusiastic research team and will work together with researchers and clinicians.

You are responsible, flexible and thorough, and have a great interest in research related to both pediatric oncology and pediatric neurology.
