Faculty of Science is recruiting Assistant Professors in Biodiversity

The Faculty of Science at Stockholm University is recruiting up to three Assistant Professors in Biodiversity to tackle the critical global issue of biodiversity loss caused by human-driven factors such as climate change, habitat alteration and pollution.

These positions come with a generous package, providing successful candidates with the opportunity to recruit personnel and develop a strong, independent research programme. The successful candidates will be linked to SciLifeLab, and each position will be formally placed within one of five departments at Stockholm University — one of them being the Department for Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences.

The topic deals with biodiversity in a wide sense, including variation and evolution within species, between species and among communities across space and time. It includes the study of molecules, genes, individuals, species and their life conditions, evolution and interactions in the environment. The focus should be on patterns and processes that previously have been difficult to study, but now are possible, due to recent advances in areas such as sequencing, AI, imaging, mass spectrometry, tomography and exposomics.

The application is now open. You can read more about these positions at the Faculty of Science website. We look forward to hopefully welcome one of you to the department in the near future!
