About this position

About the project

This PhD project focuses on elbow dysplasia (ED) in dogs, a common hereditary developmental disorder affecting the elbow joint. The work aims to improve knowledge about risk factors, optimal treatment, long-term outcome, and prognosis, with the broader goal of improving treatment results and animal welfare for affected dogs.

The project includes several sub-projects and combines epidemiological and clinical approaches. The doctoral student may take part in journal-based studies, register-based studies, a systematic review of the literature, and/or the development of a clinical treatment guideline. A key clinical study will compare outcomes after surgical versus conservative treatment in dogs diagnosed with ED.

Data collection will include clinical orthopedic examinations, radiological examinations, objective assessment methods, and owner questionnaires. The work involves direct contact with dog owners and clinics, hands-on handling of dogs, and participation in both the clinical and epidemiological parts of the project.

Research environment

The position is placed at the Department of Clinical Sciences at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala. The project brings together expertise from units within the VH Faculty in Uppsala, including clinical sciences and animal biosciences, as well as AWAKE Animal Hospital in Stockholm. The department conducts education and research in clinical and comparative veterinary medicine and provides animal healthcare through the SLU University Animal Hospital.

The doctoral student will be part of a cohesive and engaged team within animal care, working in an environment that combines teaching, research, and clinical activity. The department emphasizes collaboration, professionalism, and a positive workplace culture.

The project is described as a four-year doctoral employment at full time or according to agreement.
