Krav:

  • Universitets- och högskolelektor - erfarenhet efterfrågas

The Faculty of Landscape Planning, Horticulture and Agricultural Science is announcing a position for a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Ecology. The Senior Lecturer will be based in Alnarp at the Department of Plant Protection Biology, an interdisciplinary constellation in which research in Resistance Biology, Integrated Plant Protection and Chemical Ecology develops the sustainable use and management of biological resources.

Subject area: The subject area is chemical ecology with a focus on disease vectors. Research on disease vectors includes chemical ecology, ethology, and evolution of the chemosensory systems of insects that transmit human and animal diseases. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, using functional genomics, studies are performed on how odour- and taste-mediated behaviours of disease vectors are modulated by external chemosensory cues and internal physiological states.

Duties:

  • Contribute to the scientific development in collaboration with the head of subject
  • Develop, lead and conduct high-quality research within the subject
  • Apply for external research funding in competition
  • Publish scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals
  • Develop, lead and conduct research-based teaching on postgraduate courses
  • Carry out supervision and examination at advanced and postgraduate level
  • Develop and maintain national and international networks with researchers
  • Communicate about research and research results and contribute knowledge to society

The department has a parallel language work environment. The associate senior lecturer will be able to carry out most of their tasks in English. However, the holder is expected to be able to work and teach in Swedish within four years of taking up the position. The institution will support the holder to achieve this.

Qualifications:

  • Completed a doctoral degree in biology or have equivalent scientific competence
  • Scientifically skilled
  • Demonstrated ability to obtain external research grants
  • Pedagogically skilled
  • Completed university pedagogical education or otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge
  • Experience in supervising students at advanced and postgraduate level
  • Good knowledge of English

Assessment criteria:

The assessment criteria for employment shall primarily apply to the degree of such skill, which is a requirement for eligibility for employment. The assessment of research expertise will take into account the following:

  • Completed research efforts and ongoing research
  • The ability to independently initiate and conduct outstanding and innovative research
  • External research funds awarded in competition
  • Ability to publish in high-ranked peer-reviewed international journals

The assessment of teaching expertise will take into account the following:

  • Planning, implementation, examination and evaluation of own teaching
  • Supervision and examination at all levels of the education cycle
  • The ability to integrate research and a scientific approach into the pedagogical work
  • Pedagogical vision

Furthermore, expertise in the following will be taken into account:

  • Developing and leading both activities and personnel within academia
  • The ability to communicate about research and development work

Specific competence in the following, with relevance to the overall subject Chemical Ecology - Disease vectors is particularly meritorious:

  • Documented knowledge in functional genomics, for example genomic or transcriptomic analyses, regulation of chemosensory gene expression, or functional characterization of chemosensory proteins
  • Documented knowledge of chemosensory systems relating to ecology and evolution

Good knowledge of Swedish is a merit. When assessing the candidate's qualifications, equal attention will be given to teaching and research expertise, respectively. The position will be offered to the candidate who, after a qualitative overall assessment, is assessed to have the best qualifications to carry out and develop current tasks and contribute to a positive development of the department and SLU.

Working at SLU:

At SLU, you become part of a vibrant research environment that is based on active collaboration. As an employee at SLU, you have access to a number of benefits (including Swedish family healthcare, parental leave, and generous paid leave policies). SLU is often highly ranked in various university rankings and is considered one of Sweden's most attractive workplaces.

Application deadline: 2025-03-17
Place of work: Alnarp
Extent: 100%
Form of employment: Permanent employment
Starting date: By agreement.
