Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science

The Department of Animal Biosciences

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 including 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 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.

The subject of the employment is bioinformatics, which 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

  • Develop and lead internationally successful research.
  • Develop, lead, and participate in teaching at first, second, and third cycle levels.
  • Primarily teach bioinformatics, in addition to other components at first, second, and third cycle levels covering the subject.
  • Develop and maintain national and international networks with academia, public authorities, industry, organizations, and society at large.
  • Collaborate with other SLU research teams to strengthen interdisciplinary activities at the university.
  • Apply for external research funding from both national and international sources.
  • Contribute to the strategic development of the department, faculty, and SLU.
  • Communicate research findings and other relevant information to society.
  • Perform administrative duties within the department, faculty, and university.
  • Possibly have a managerial role.
  • 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.

Minimum Requirements

  • 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.
  • Demonstrate research expertise in the subject.
  • Demonstrate teaching expertise and have the ability to integrate research and a scientific approach into their teaching.
  • Have demonstrated the ability to lead and develop a successful, internationally recognized research team.
  • Have demonstrated the ability to compete for substantial external research funding.
  • Have good knowledge of English.

Grounds of Assessment

The assessment of research expertise will be based on:

  • Completed and ongoing research and its relevance and development potential for the faculty and department.
  • The ability to independently initiate and run successful and internationally recognised research.
  • The ability to successfully compete for external research funding.
  • Experience in the role of principal supervisor for third-cycle study programmes.

The following will be taken into consideration when assessing teaching expertise:

  • Planning, implementation, examination, and assessment of teaching and education.
  • The ability to integrate research and scientific approaches into teaching work.
  • Supervision and examination of first, second, and third cycle courses.
  • Training in teaching and learning in higher education or equivalent knowledge.
  • Pedagogic vision and reflection.

The appointment will be offered to the applicant who, following a qualitative comprehensive assessment, is deemed to have the best skill 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, including Swedish family health care provisions and generous paid leave of absence policies. Sweden has a well-established pre-school structure and 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.
