Associate Senior Lecturer in Plant biology with focus on Species Interactions
Associate Senior Lecturer in Plant biology with focus on Species Interactions at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences. Reference number SU FV-0769-13. Deadline for application: May 9, 2013.
Swedish “biträdande lektor”; tenure track position approximately equivalent to Junior Lecturer (UK) or Assistant Professor (US)
The department of ecology, environment and plant sciences originates from merging former botany and systems ecology departments. The department’s research activities involve terrestrial as well as marine environments, and are conducted primarily in biodiversity, ecology, ecotoxicology, evolution, plant physiology and plant systematics. In these areas studies are performed on processes and patterns from molecular to ecosystem level, and interactions within and among species and with the environment and society. Several of our research areas are among those identified as strong within Stockholm University (climate, ocean, and environment) and the Faculty of Science (species interactions). Some of the research has direct environmental and societal relevance and the approach is often broad and interdisciplinary.
