Jobadvertisement for a *University Lectureship in Plant Ecology* at Lund
University, Sweden. 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
Please 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.
