Join the Department of Environmental Science as an Assistant Professor in Biodiversity

We are pleased to announce an opening for an Assistant Professor position as part of the university’s recruitment of up to three SciLifeLab Fellows in Biodiversity.

This position focuses on addressing the critical issue of biodiversity loss due to human-driven factors, such as climate change, habitat alteration, and pollution. With a generous package of around 1.6 million euros, successful candidates will have the resources to recruit personnel and establish a strong, independent research program in this vital area.

As a part of our department, the selected candidate will engage in groundbreaking studies of microbial diversity in environmental processes and anthropogenic impacts. Research areas may include the degradation or transformation of environmental pollutants within biota and ecosystems and the study of airborne dynamics, such as aerosol formation. The position also involves participation in research education and teaching within environmental sciences, fostering a new generation of students passionate about environmental preservation.

Each position will be formally placed within one of five departments, depending on the applicant's skill sets and interests:

• Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
• Department of Environmental Science
• Department of Geological Sciences
• Department of Physical Geography
• Department of Zoology

Applicants interested in joining the Department of Environmental Science are encouraged to explore our department’s profile, focusing on how their research can complement our work in understanding environmental impacts on biodiversity. The candidates will be evaluated primarily on their research skills, with teaching skills also considered, as each position includes teaching responsibilities.

The deadline for applications is 20 January 2025.

For application instructions, please read the full announcement carefully below.
