Please forward to anybody who might be interested:
The Department of Zoology at Stockholm University
(https://www.su.se/department-of-zoology/) is seeking to hire an
Assistant Professor in Functional Genomics of Adaptations in Animals as
part of the Science for Life Lab (https://www.scilifelab.se
<https://www.scilifelab.se>) fellowship scheme. The subject covers
functional genomics research on the processes and mechanisms that
generate and maintain adaptations and genetic diversity within and
across vertebrate or invertebrate species. The primary responsibility of
the Assistant Professor is to carry out research, together with limited
teaching responsibilities at the Department of Zoology. The position
comes with generous financial support for recruiting co-workers and for
sustaining research activities during the six years as assistant
professor. An assistant professor can apply for promotion to a permanent
position as associate professor if the criteria for promotion
established by the Faculty of Science board is fulfilled.
Stockholm University is a leading European university and one of the
world's top 100 institutes for higher education and research. Stockholm
University has more than 60,000 students and 5,000 staff. Sweden and
Stockholm are consistently placed very high on global lists ranking
quality of life, safety and social security. The Department of Zoology
at Stockholm University consists of five divisions: Population Genetics,
Ecology, Ethology, Functional Morphology, and Systematics and Evolution,
thus covering research on animals from all angles. Research on the
evolution of animal adaptations is a theme in common for all divisions,
and the atmosphere is vibrant and highly cooperative. Research on
functional genomics of adaptations in animals would be highly
complementary to existing research, with many opportunities for
collaboration. The position will initially be housed primarily at the
Solna campus of SciLifeLab Stockholm and later at the department.
*Qualification requirements*
In order to qualify for the position as assistant professor, the
