University Lectureship in Plant Ecology at Lund University that was announced on 8 January 2018. The application deadline is 28 February 2018.
The position is advertised at: https://lu.mynetworkglobal.com/en/what:job/jobID:177838/type:job/where:4/apply:1<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lu.mynetworkglobal.com_en_what-3Ajob_jobID-3A177838_type-3Ajob_where-3A4_apply-3A1&d=DwMGaQ&c=jrLYy3FV6j9HoN3FfGW-SLJoSRpiMyAzztY4B1tagEk&r=eyOmBOK7BxzTWh_fk7vz7g&m=WfmgTn1GjOyV03ggmh_VtiIcEsQA2tRVzdN_Eyez0W0&s=i8gNq76OIVKZynr2h2_yvDCxlnTFMmp4vzMgN7tmjhw&e=> Please can you circulate the advert to as many of your contacts as possible? We are eager to attract a strong field of applicants! The Department of Biology wishes to strengthen research and teaching at the interface between plant community ecology and evolutionary biology, with a focus on terrestrial plants. We are advertising a fully tenured position which will include both teaching and research. The Biology Department in Lund is a large and internationally visible department, has excellent facilities and is a good working place! There is currently a strong interest in extending studies of evolutionary processes beyond single organisms, or interactions between a small number of organisms, to a more realistic community-based context. Rapid developments within genomics provide increasingly accessible means of characterizing molecular variation with plant communities - and these developments are driving a closer integration of ecological and evolutionary studies. We want to appoint a person with strong competence within the field of terrestrial plant community ecology and a focus on the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive community assembly and biodiversity. Experience in field-based teaching in floristics and vegetation analysis will be regarded a strong merit. The official Swedish translations of the names of different academic positions are a bit wild. Although the advert reads as though we are advertising for a clearly senior person, younger applicants whose research profiles are well-fitted to the subject description in the advert shouldn't hesitate to apply. Important notes. 1) For an application to be valid, the Science Faculty administration requires that all the specified documentation (even though it may seem somewhat over-the-top!) is included in the application. 2) Applications will be evaluated on the basis of/in relation to the job-description as worded in the formal advertisement.
