About this position
Two tenure-track positions are open at Lund University for Associate Senior Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Computational Science. The role is designed for an up-and-coming researcher who wants to build an independent research profile in computational science and contribute to the Faculty of Science’s strategic expansion of the field.
The post is broadly defined and may include research in advanced computation, simulation, modelling, data analysis, software development, and data management, with applications in the natural sciences, engineering, or medicine. The university highlights links to established and emerging research environments across the Faculty of Science, as well as access to high-performance computing and data infrastructure. The position is also connected to the research school COMPUTE, the Master’s programme in Computational Science, and doctoral education in the field.
This is a tenure-track appointment for 6 years. The successful candidate will spend most of the time on research, with teaching duties of about 10–30% over the appointment. The post includes opportunities for teaching, supervision of Master’s theses and PhD students, pedagogical development, and collaboration across departments and faculties. The appointment also comes with resources corresponding to one doctoral studentship and one postdoctoral position linked to the research team.
Eligibility and preferences include a doctoral degree or equivalent research expertise in computational science, preferably a PhD awarded within the last 7 years, a strong publication record, a research plan for an innovative project, relevant postdoctoral experience outside the PhD institution, experience in computationally intensive collaboration, teaching and supervision ability, leadership potential, and very good English. Applicants should also be motivated to learn Swedish and able to work independently and collaboratively.
The post is part of the Lund University Programme for Global Excellence, and the university notes that appointments may be nominated for future Swedish Research Council funding for internationally experienced assistant professors. Applicants are encouraged to contact relevant research environments within the Faculty of Science to align their proposal with existing strengths.
