Juliane Marie Center We are looking for a doctor for a project dealing with Klinefelter syndrome starting on 1 May 2025. The appointment is for one year with a good possibility of extension. Applicants with a desire for a PhD course at the Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Copenhagen, are preferred. About the position: You will be part of the team of junior researchers and senior researchers in the department and will be associated with the department's projects dealing with patients with Klinefelter syndrome. This includes a prospective study of both boys and men with Klinefelter syndrome who are followed in our outpatient clinic. You will be responsible for creating a database in REDCap as well as informing, including and investigating participants. You will also be assigned to a randomized, placebo-controlled project, which aims to evaluate the effect of testosterone treatment during puberty in boys with Klinefelter syndrome. Here you have to help organize visits, investigate participants and follow up on visits. As this is a national project, there will also be visits to the other sites at the children's wards in Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense.

As a junior doctor in the department, you become part of a duty team that during the day carries out hormone stimulation tests and informs patients in the sperm bank.

We expect you to be curious and results-oriented and able to work independently and with a sense of responsibility. We expect you to have good collaboration skills across professional groups as well as good communication skills - including especially communication with children and their families. Experience with research in the form of database management, basic statistics and article writing will be a plus, but is not a requirement.
