https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/work-at-the-university/?rmpage=job&rmjob=7296&rmlang=UKThe Department of Biology and Environmental Science and the Department of Chemistry and Biomedical Science are parts of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The research activities within these multidisciplinary departments include, in addition to natural science didactics; research across the disciplines of biology, biomedical science, chemistry, ecology, and environmental science.
The faculty has offered post-graduate education within science education research since 2003. The broader research environment focusing on science education is a collaboration between the two departments, together with cognate disciplines in the Faculty of Technology and the Faculty of Social Sciences, a university-wide cooperation, through the Centre for Natural Science Didactics. The research focus is on meaning-making of science in educational practice, ranging from preschool to university levels. National as well as international collaborations provide valuable contributions to our various ongoing research projects.
Field of subject for the appointment: Natural science didactics - with focus on either biology or chemistry didactics
Placement city: Kalmar, work at campus Växjö may be included
Scope of appointment: Permanent, 100%
Job description
The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, with placement either at the Department of Biology and Environmental Science or at the Department of Chemistry and Biomedical Science, is seeking an outstanding professor in the field of natural science didactics with a focus on either biology or chemistry didactics. The position entails the running of an independent research program focused on either biology or chemistry didactics, and the teaching, supervision, and examination of bachelor, advanced, and PhD-level students, primarily in teacher training programs, as well as related administration. Important tasks also include contributing to the development of the existing research and teaching activities at the Departments and Centre, and contributing to a strong seminar culture.

To be qualified for appointment as professor is a person who has demonstrated sufficient, relevant scientific and pedagogical skills. (HF chapter 4, section 3).
Furthermore, the Linnaeus University's appointment criteria require that a person must have demonstrated scientific skills through independent, active research in accordance with current national standards, both qualitatively and quantitatively and at a level considerably exceeding that required for award of the title associate professor (docent) in Science Didactics, with either a Biology or Chemistry focus.
The capacity to lead a research program through the attraction of external funding in competition, and the delivery of research outcomes through publication in international peer-reviewed publications are central to the role. Furthermore, the capacity to deliver high quality peer-reviewed conference presentations, the informing of practice for the broader development of biology and/or chemistry didactics and service to the scientific community are requirements. Demonstrated capacity to successfully supervise (as main supervisor) PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.
Pedagogical skills should be demonstrated through documented well delivered and managed teaching and examination at first-, second- and third-cycle levels. This includes planning and implementation of courses, supervision of project students, and evaluation of teaching.
In order to qualify for this appointment, the candidate must also have:
• an outstanding track record of international peer reviewed publications in the area,
• an established track record of receiving external funding as main applicant, in national and/or international competition, in particular over the past five years,
• a documented record of leading competitive natural science didactics-oriented research,
• the ability to lead a competitive research program that complements and strengthens the ongoing science didactics-oriented research at the faculty
-a well-documented capacity to work effectively both independently and as part of a team in both teaching and research contexts,
• a high degree of proficiency in written and spoken English.
The successful candidate shall have a capacity to teach in the Swedish language, or shall have attained the necessary skills to do so by the start of the third year of employment. Support for language training shall be provided.
Other assessment criteria include, well documented:
-experience of teaching and teaching-related administration at the university level and/or experience of teaching in school contexts.
• the ability to collaborate well with others and general suitability for the relevant tasks.
