SENIOR LECTURER IN PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS
This position is based at the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology. Ref. no.: E 324 2340/09 This position is based at the Department of Pharmacology, within the Unit for Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism. The unit currently consists of one professor and nine doctoral/postgraduate students. The department offers teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels within the pharmacist and prescriptionist programmes, as well as research education. The teaching is carried out in Swedish and English. The research focuses on the absorption and disposition of antiparasitic and antiviral pharmaceuticals as a basis for rational treatment recommendations for various patient populations in a global perspective. In relation to this, applied pharmacometrics has become an increasingly important research methodology. For more information about activities in the unit, see the unit's website: www.pkdm.se. A research profile in pharmacometrics, particularly population pharmacokinetics, or either drug metabolism or absorption will be considered a major advantage for this position. On a secondary level of merit, expertise in drug bioanalysis, particularly chromatography/mass spectrometry would also be considered an advantage. Further, a teaching experience on pharmaceutical undergraduate/-graduate programmes is of merit. Duties: The position entails the teaching and examination at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including course development, management and leadership, as well as the supervision and examination of graduate theses, within the pharmacist and prescriptionist programmes. The holder of this position is expected to conduct and lead research as well as to carry out required administrative tasks. Qualification requirements: Doctoral degree, successful completion of university pedagogy training and demonstrated pedagogical proficiency. Applicants who do not meet the qualification requirements in terms of university pedagogy training and who do not possess equivalent skills may be employed for a maximum of one year, with the possibility of an additional year's extension. If such qualifications are acquired during this period of employment, the form of employment will be converted to permanent tenure on request. Basis for assessment: In the first instance, assessment will be on the basis of scholarly and pedagogical proficiency. A first degree in the pharmaceutical sciences would be a particular advantage, since the teaching carried out by the unit is within the pharmacist and prescriptionist programmes. Administrative proficiency and collaborative abilities will also be taken into account when appointing the successful candidate. A candidate who is offered a permanent position as senior lecturer will instead be employed on a permanent basis as a professor if she or he has requested this and is qualified for such a position. Applicants wishing to be considered for employment as a professor must specifically request this on the first page of their application. FURTHER INFORMATION .
