Assistant Professor in Data-driven cell and molecular biology
At Stockholm University the *Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics
(DBB)* and the *Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren
Institute (MBW) *are looking to fill one position as DDLS fellow in
data-driven cell and molecular biology.
For more information about us, please visit: DBB
<https://www.su.se/department-of-biochemistry-and-biophysics/>and MBW
<https://www.su.se/department-of-molecular-biosciences-the-wenner-gren-institute/>
Data-driven life science (DDLS) uses data, computational methods and
artificial intelligence to study biological systems and processes at all
levels, from molecular structures and cellular processes to human health
and global ecosystems. The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program
for Data-Driven
Life Science (DDLS) <https://www.scilifelab.se/data-driven/>, coordinated
by SciLifeLab, aims to recruit and train the next-generation of data-driven
life scientists and to create globally leading computational and data
science capabilities in Sweden. The program is funded with a total of 3.3
billion SEK (about 350 MUSD) over 12 years from the Knut and Alice
Wallenberg (KAW) Foundation.
The DDLS program funds 50 high-profile young group leaders (“Fellows”),
over 210 postdoctoral positions and has established a research school for
260 PhDs, including industry PhDs and postdocs. Fellows are recruited to
the 11 participating host universities/organizations, but brought together
under the DDLS program, which has four strategic areas: cell and molecular
biology, evolution and biodiversity, precision medicine and diagnostics,
epidemiology and biology of infection. For more information, please see
www.scilifelab.se/data-driven.
During 2022-2024, the first and second round of 39 Fellows joined and now
we are looking to recruit an additional group of 11 Fellows. Each DDLS
Fellow will receive a recruitment package of 17 MSEK (about 1.6 MUSD) for a
5-year period, covering their own salary and other resources, such as
salaries for PhD students and postdoc positions. The Fellowships are
tenure-track positions with the host organizations, which assume the
responsibility for the long-term faculty appointments following a tenure
evaluation.
The future of life science is data-driven. Will you be leading the change
with us? Then join us in this unique program!
The position comes with an attractive recruitment package.
Subject
Data-driven cell and molecular biology
Subject description
Data-driven cell and molecular biology covers research that fundamentally
transforms our knowledge about how cells function by peering into their
molecular components in time and space, from single molecules to native
tissue environments. The applicant is expected to have a strong
computational focus on innovative development and application of novel
data-driven methods relying on machine learning, artificial intelligence,
or other computational techniques.
Main responsibilities
Research and in addition some teaching and supervision.
Qualification requirements
In order to qualify for the position as assistant professor, the applicant
must have completed a doctoral degree in Sweden or an equivalent degree
from another country. Priority will be given to applicants who have
received such a degree no more than seven years before the deadline for
applications. However, an applicant who has received such a degree earlier
may be considered under special circumstances. Special reasons could be
sick leave, parental leave or other similar circumstances.
All teaching positions at Stockholm University require the ability to
collaborate and the general ability and suitability to perform one’s duties.
Assessment criteria
In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research
skills. Teaching skills will also be considered.
The assessment of research skills will focus primarily on merits within the
subject area of the position.
About the employment
This position (in Swedish, “biträdande lektor”) is a tenure track position,
and the qualification requirements and terms of employment are regulated by
the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 2024:673).
For this position, the assistant professor is employed for a fixed term of
six years. The contract may be extended to a maximum of eight years under
special circumstances, such as due to sick leave or parental leave.
An assistant professor may, on application, be promoted to a permanent
position as associate professor. Specific criteria for promotion from
assistant professor to associate professor have been established by the Faculty
of Science
<https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/organisation/faculties/faculty-of-science>.
An application for promotion to associate professor should be submitted to
the faculty at least nine months before the appointment as assistant
professor expires.
The formal employment will, after agreement with the hired candidate,
either be at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics or the
Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute.
During the first six years, the main workplace for this position will be at
the Science for Life Laboratory. Assuming a successful promotion to
Associate Professor, the main workplace will thereafter be decided together
with the department.
