Arbetsbeskrivning

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science

The Department of Animal Biosciences is part of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science and is responsible for education and research in several basic and applied areas. These areas include anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, genetics, breeding, immunology, bacteriology, virology, parasitology, epizootology, comparative medicine, food safety, bioinformatics, and One Health. Our research covers everything from production animals to sport and companion animals, laboratory animals, and wild animals. The department's researchers work on the entire scale, from molecular mechanisms and microbiology to the structure, function, and behaviour of animals and how these are affected by breeding, physical activity, care, production, stress, environmental factors, and diseases.

The current employment is placed in the research group of molecular genetics. Our research focuses on improving the health and welfare of our domestic animals by identifying genetic and epigenetic factors and studying their impact on reproduction, the risk of developing diseases, as well as production and performance traits.

Subject description

The subject of the position is molecular animal genetics. It focuses on the genetic background of complex and simply inherited traits (including clinical genomics) in both farmed animals and sport and companion animals.

Duties

  1. Develop and lead internationally successful research
  2. Develop, lead, and participate in teaching at first, second, and third cycle levels
  3. Primarily teach in animal molecular genetics, in addition to other components at first, second, and third cycle levels covering the subject
  4. Develop and maintain national and international networks with academia, the relevant public authorities, industry, organizations, and society at large
  5. Collaborate with other SLU research teams to strengthen interdisciplinary activities at the university
  6. Apply for external research funding from both national and international sources
  7. Supervise doctoral students
  8. Contribute to the strategic development of the department, faculty, and SLU
  9. Communicate research findings and other relevant information to society at large
  10. Perform administrative duties within the department, faculty, and university
  11. Possibly have a managerial role
  12. Be able to use Swedish as the working language within four years

The department uses Swedish and English in parallel. The professor should be able to perform the majority of their tasks in English. However, as a public authority, the university has Swedish as its main language according to the requirements of the Language Act, and the professor must be able to use Swedish as their working language within four years of beginning the position. The department will provide support with language learning.
