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 in bioinformatics is placed in the research group of bioinformatics. Our research is focused on developing methods for analysing and understanding the code that governs life, from DNA sequences to complex biological processes. By understanding these processes, we can improve the quality of life for many by offering better food, more precise diagnoses of diseases, and improved treatments.

Subject description: The subject of the employment is bioinformatics. It comprises developing methods for analysing biological data, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites, focusing on farmed animals, sport and companion animals, and microorganisms from their internal or external environment.

Duties

The applicant will be expected to:

  1. develop and lead internationally successful research
  2. develop, lead, and participate in teaching at first, second, and third cycle levels
  3. primarily teach bioinformatics, 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.

Eligibility

The applicant must:

  1. have successfully completed a doctoral degree with a focus on bioinformatics, as well as hold the qualifications required for appointment as an associate professor (docent) within a subject relevant to the position
  2. demonstrate research expertise in the subject
  3. demonstrate teaching expertise and have the ability to integrate research and a scientific approach into their teaching
  4. have demonstrated the ability to lead and develop a successful, internationally recognized research team
  5. have demonstrated the ability to compete for substantial external research funding
  6. have good knowledge of English.
Application Information

This position offers the 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.
