BACKGROUND
Over the next few years Umeå University will promote research in the Educational Sciences in an extraordinary way. A new organisation Umeå School of Education has been implemented and several research areas will be supported by an additional grant of, in total, € 14.000.000. The aim is to further develop educational science research in order to make Umeå University an increasingly prominent and competitive and center for excellence at the international level. A number of researchers will be recruited, including five professors and several post-docs and PhD students, in nine different areas within educational sciences.
One of these areas is Special Education, where a professorship is announced. Attached to each professorship are two PhD positions and two post-doc positions to be announced by the professor after appointment, as well as funding for visiting scholars and an additional € 140.000 at the professor’s disposal.
SCIENTIFIC AREA FOR THE POSITION
Special education research is interdisciplinary in character. It scrutinises activities that seek to protect and enhance the participation, learning and development of individuals who encounter difficulties and receive special support. Central to the critical analysis of special education research are questions surrounding educational marginalisation, social exclusion and the associated interplay between individuals, their school environment and wider society.
WEIGHTING OF THE CRITERIA
Research skills is the most important criterion by which candidates will be assessed, followed by academic leadership skills and teaching skills. Research skills will be assessed on the basis of publication record, documented experience in developing research environments and ability to secure external financing.
University policy concerning gender equality will be a factor in the selection process.
