Associate Professor in Modelling plant stress responses, Umeå University

Your duties will primary be to lead a research group in modelling plant stress responses. This includes all aspects of scientific leadership including applying for funds, supervising PhD students and postdocs and communicating the findings. You are expected to establish an independent line of research within the field and to generate synergies with other research groups at IceLab and Umeå Plant Science Centre. Depending on qualification we will offer a substantial starting package to get you a good start.

You are also expected to participate in the teaching of the department. For the first three years this is limited to maximum 25% of your time. The teaching duties of the department is however rather limited so you can count on being able to focus on your research even after the first three years.

Limited departmental administrative duties may also be included in the position.

The position is a part of a large strategic research project focused on how organisms handle stress and changed environmental conditions. You are expected to be instrumental in the cooperation between the two different centers.
