Senior Lecturer in Chemical Ecology with a focus on Disease Vectors

Arbetsbeskrivning

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.

Read more about the Department and Chemical Ecology Research here. Read more about the subject area of Chemical Ecology - Disease Vectors here.

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
  1. Contribute to the scientific development in collaboration with the head of subject.
  2. Develop, lead and conduct high-quality research within the subject.
  3. Apply for external research funding in competition.

  6. Carry out supervision and examination at advanced and postgraduate level.
  7. Develop and maintain national and international networks with researchers.
  8. 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.

  1. Completed research efforts and ongoing research.
  2. The ability to independently initiate and conduct outstanding and innovative research.

  2. The ability to communicate about research and development work.
Specific competence

  1. Documented knowledge in functional genomics, for example genomic or transcriptomic analyses, regulation of chemosensory gene expression, or functional characterization of chemosensory proteins.
  2. 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.
