At least two assistant professors within the Faculty of Social Sciences

Umeå University aims to recruit at least two assistant professors within the Faculty of Social Sciences. The positions are part of the Northern Star Fellows Programme, providing early-career researchers the opportunity to develop their research over six years with the potential for promotion to associate professor. Candidates must have a doctoral degree or equivalent competence, with a strong emphasis on research quality and teaching experience. A very good knowledge of English is required, and applicants who do not speak Swedish are expected to learn basic Swedish within three years. The positions are full-time and fixed-term, with a focus on building an independent research profile and contributing to the academic community.
