Duties
The duties assigned to teaching staff may comprise educational responsibilities or research, and administrative tasks. Teachers are also responsible for monitoring developments within their subject areas and developments in the wider community that are significant to their role as a teacher at a higher education institution. The holder of the appointment will participate in teaching at undergraduate and advanced levels.
In this position you will initiate and conduct independent research in bioengineering. You are encouraged to collaborate with other researchers in the Division and the Department and other academic or industrial partners, both nationally and internationally. You will strive to establish an internationally leading research group, actively apply for external research funding, and recruit and supervise PhD students and postdocs. You will also conduct and develop teaching, mainly in advanced courses in biotechnology and industrial bioprocesses offered at the engineering programmes in Chemical Biology and Engineering Biology. Supervision and examination of master's degree projects is also included. Development of teaching may mean improvement of contents and pedagogical methods, as well as the design of new courses.
The language of instruction will be Swedish or English, depending on the applicant's linguistic background.
Qualifications
To be qualified for this appointment the applicant must have demonstrated teaching proficiency, received a Degree of Doctor or have the equivalent academic expertise or other professional skill which is of significance with consideration for the subject relevant to the appointment and the associated duties.

You are an active researcher in bioengineering. You have an interest in research related to the development and production of biological products based on, or harvested from, mammalian cell cultures, such as cell therapies, stem cells, gene therapies, vaccines and therapeutic proteins or other macromolecules for medical and other life science purposes. Alternatively, your research focus is on mammalian cell-based production of other biotechnological products in related fields, e. g. biomaterials, biomedical devices, or future foods.
You have experience of applying for and attracting external research funding and of leading research projects. Experience of supervising students at undergraduate, advanced and/or doctoral level is a merit.
Experience of academic research projects in collaboration with industry, or experience of industrial research, in a field relevant to the position is a strong merit.
You have experience of teaching biochemistry, cell biology, biotechnology or related subjects, at basic and/or advanced level, in Swedish or English. Experience of teaching related to industrial bioprocesses based on mammalian cell culture is strongly meritorious. Documentation of positive teaching evaluations, such as course evaluations, is strongly meritorious, as is experience of course development.
You have an excellent ability to collaborate with colleagues and students. You communicate fluently in spoken and written English.
As much attention shall be given to the assessment of teaching proficiency as to other conditions of eligibility.
For this position special weight is given to scholarly proficiency, followed by teaching proficiency, in turn followed by remaining proficiencies which should be considered equally.
Scholarly proficiency must have been demonstrated through: original research resulting in publication, through planning and managing research and third-cycle courses and study programmes and through the ability to obtain research grants Scholarly proficiency can also be demonstrated through the ability to achieve results in research through collaboration with other teachers and through the ability to provide information about research.
