We are a reasonably busy clinic with approx. 9000 studies /year, including 500 MRI studies, 400 CT scans / year (nasal, thorax, abdomen, skeletal), >1500 small animal ultrasound examinations, and 5000 radiographic examinations (3000 small animal studies; 2000 large animal studies). The whole clinical department is supported by a PACS system (AGFA) including a teaching file archive.
English is used as a working language in the division. Spoken German or French are of advantage, but not required.
Generous salary package is commensurate with experience and is in line with income and living standards in Switzerland.
