The Department of Conservation offers professional degree programs and research on issues of cultural heritage, landscapes, cultural environments, buildings, gardens, cultural historical objects, and interiors. In Gothenburg we offer degree programs for building preservationists, conservators, and leaders in the fields of sloyd and traditional handicrafts. In Mariestad we offer programs in building construction, garden, and landscaping crafts. For more information, see

Conservation demands expertise in a broad range of knowledge that includes fields in the natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences.
Subject area
Conservation, especially conservation of objects
Specific subject description
The conservation programme is profession-linked and aims to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in preventive and interventive conservation methodology. In their first three years (BSc), students are provided with a general objects conservation training. In the final two years of their training (MA), students focus on one of the recognised materials-based conservation specialisations. Structure and choice of courses aim to give students the necessary knowledge in science and cultural history so that they are provided with a thoroughly holistic basis with which to enter professional practice. Training is based on a multidisciplinary approach in which scientific and cultural disciplines are integrated.
Job assignments
The position includes planning, teaching, leading, and developing courses at both bachelor and masters levels, as well as providing advice and supervision to students on research skills and thesis writing. Work with the doctoral program, teaching in other departmental programs, laboratory management, and other departmental responsibilities may be required. The holder of the position is also expected to develop within the students an understanding of the connection between practical conservation and the broader field of cultural historical practice. Research and development work in the field of objects conservation as well as collaborative activities with the practice on local, national and international levels, are obvious tasks. The position requires deep knowledge and long experience in the practice of conservation of objects with a broadly based experience from cultural historical oriented practice, as well as advanced skill in planning and collaboration, social skills, flexibility, and creativity. Applicants are expected to be able to teach in Swedish within two years of accepting the position.
Eligibility
The qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in University of Gothenburg's Appointments Procedure for Teachers. Applicants must have a doctorate (PhD) degree in a subject related to conservation of objects. The ability to teach in Swedish or English is a requirement.
Assessment
In judging an applicant's qualifications, teaching and professional expertise will be given equal weight and are the most important grounds for evaluating applicants.
In evaluating teaching skill, the applicant must have documented experience in teaching theoretical and practical conservation at the university level and particular emphasis will be placed on experience with planning, organizing, and leading courses.
In evaluating professional skill, particular emphasis will be placed on deep expertise and experience of practical conservation work in the field of conservation.
After teaching and professional expertise, scientific skill is the next most important ground for evaluating applicants. In evaluating scientific skill, particular attention will be paid to scientific expertise in the field of conservation of objects. The applicant should have a natural science and interdisciplinary foundation, and the applicant's scientific skill should be documented primarily with publications in scientific journals with internationally recognized peer review. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate advanced skills in planning and collaboration and laboratory management.
Another important aspect of scientific skill is documented advanced ability to secure research grants from research foundations and other external funding sources. Experience working across professional boundaries and/or in multi-disciplinary collaborations is of merit.
