Offer Description

Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences
Department of Urban and Rural Development

Agricultural history is a historical discipline that covers developments from the earliest times to the present. The subject deals with agricultural production and technological development, social and economic conditions, people in the agrarian society and their relationship to nature, the landscape and society at large. The interdisciplinary methodology of agricultural history is used to study complex conditions and long-term processes with a historical perspective.

Agricultural History is part of the Department of Urban and Rural Development, where undergraduate education, postgraduate education, research, and collaboration are conducted in five divisions: Agricultural History, Landscape Architecture, Rural Development, Environmental Communication, and the Division of Political Science and Natural Resource Governance. The department is the largest within SLU for social sciences, humanities, and design. For agricultural history, the department's research environment enables collaboration with other subjects in both research and teaching. SLU also offers an attractive research environment with unique breadth around common problem areas and thus provides opportunities for multi- and interdisciplinary collaborations not only with research groups in the humanities and social sciences, including economics, but also with groups in natural and engineering sciences.

Duties

The associate senior lecturer/assistant professor is expected to develop her/his own research line in the field of agricultural history. Research should be carried out in close collaboration with colleagues at the department and SLU, as well as through national and international collaborations.

In addition, the candidate should within the subject area:

  • apply for external research funding in competition and publish scientific articles
  • initiate the establishment of a research network within the research profile
  • participate in postgraduate education as a co-supervisor
  • teach at basic and advanced levels, including doctoral level
  • undertake pedagogical training
  • teach in Swedish within four years of taking up the position

The tasks consist of 75% research and 25% other tasks/teaching.

Eligible for employment as associate senior lecturer are candidates who hold a PhD or have equivalent academic qualifications. Priority will be given to candidates who have received a PhD or equivalent qualifications no longer than seven years before the application deadline. Other candidates may also be considered if there are extraordinary grounds for doing so. Extraordinary grounds refer to illness, parental leave, or similar circumstances.

For employment as associate senior lecturer, the candidate must demonstrate research expertise in agricultural history, history, economic history, cultural geography, ethnology, or equivalent.

Good ability to communicate in English in speech and writing is a requirement.

Assessment criteria

The assessment criteria for appointment as an associate senior lecturer will primarily be based on the degree to which the applicant/candidate possesses the required qualifications specified for the position.

Furthermore, the assessment includes evaluating the applicant's ability to independently develop a line of research within the subject and to qualify for promotion to senior lecturer during the employment period. It is considered to be of merit if the applicant has previous teaching experience.

The position will be offered to the eligible candidate who, following a qualitative comprehensive assessment, is deemed to have the best qualifications set to conduct and develop the duties in question and contribute to the positive development of the organisation.

This position offers a vibrant research climate at SLU. The benefits of the position include Swedish family health care provisions, parenting support including generous paid leave of absence policies that allow both parents to care for newborns and toddlers. Additionally, Sweden has a well-established pre-school structure as well as an educational system that provides no-cost education through university studies.

Located in the greater Stockholm region, the city of Uppsala has a rich history and culture and is a true academic and cultural hub.

Application:

It is desirable that the application is written in English because the applications will be evaluated by expert advisers both in Sweden and abroad.
