About the job

Company Description

With more than 13,000 employees representing 160 professions, the University Hospitals of Geneva are a nationally and internationally recognised reference institution. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to view our 2025 retrospective by clicking  here .

The Brain and Mental Health Consultation is the result of close collaboration between the psychiatry and clinical neuroscience departments of the HUG, which was established at the Geneva Campus Biotech (CBT) on
1 November 2024.

Its aim is to offer complementary care to that provided at the HUG for neurological patients (patients suffering from traumatic brain injury) and psychiatric patients (psychosis spectrum disorders), in order to better define diagnoses and develop new treatment strategies.

Patients have access to specialised clinical follow-ups thanks to a dedicated multidisciplinary team, including neuropsychologists, neurosurgeons, and psychiatrists, without needing to return to a hospital setting. Comprehensive end-to-end clinical care pathways (from initial care to return home or to appropriate facilities) are established by the respective neurology, psychiatry, and neurosurgery teams at HUG in collaboration with the NeuroCentre, focusing on various neuronal pathologies.

The Brain and Mental Health Consultation is part of the development of the patient pathway and aims to create an effective synergy between HUG clinical expertise and the Campus Biotech research platform, to inspire treatments with new innovative tools derived from research.

Indeed, at Campus Biotech, several teams are available to offer participation in translational research projects, to advance understanding of cognitive and motivational disorders and pave the way for new adapted treatment strategies. An additional asset is the creation of clinical registries to better document and understand targeted pathologies and applied treatments, with standardised and anonymised quality data.
