Position 

Permanent position as Senior Lecturer in Internal Medicine at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö (Swedish acronym IKVM), combined with employment as a specialist physician/senior consultant at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö (Swedish acronym SUS).

Duties

Work duties include teaching, assignments within third-cycle studies and research in internal medicine. Additionally, other duties that are normally associated with the position of senior lecturer are included, such as administrative tasks and internal and external elected offices nationally and internationally. Applicants also need to be prepared to assume leadership responsibility for research and teaching in the subject area.

One important part of the work duties is participating in teaching on the Medical Programme. The holder of the position is expected to be prepared to assume leadership responsibility within the Medical Programme, primarily in internal medicine, but other general tasks may also be relevant. In addition, the holder is expected to teach in the first and second-cycles (undergraduate and Master’s levels) in the Faculty of Medicine's various educational programmes, as well as in the third cycle (postgraduate research studies). The Medical Programme currently has operations in Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg and clinical placements at other hospitals. The holder of the position should therefore be aware that duties may be conducted at more than one location. 

The holder of the position is expected to lead high-level research within the relevant subject area, while prompting colleagues and doctoral students to undertake local collaborations that further develop research activities in Malmö. This can take place in close cooperation with other research teams at Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, and ideally in national and international research environments. 

The position will be combined with a position as a specialist physician/senior consultant in internal medicine within the field of emergency medicine and internal medicine at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö. 

Qualification requirements 

In accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 4, Section 4  a person is eligible to be appointed as senior lecturer if they have demonstrated research expertise and been awarded a doctoral degree or have the corresponding research competence or some other professional expertise that is of value in view of the subject matter of the position and the duties that it will involve. 

Teaching expertise is also required. According to the Lund University Appointment Rules, the applicant must have completed training in teaching and learning in higher education of at least five weeks or have acquired equivalent knowledge in another way in order to be eligible, unless there are special grounds. If the holder of the position is deemed to have special grounds for not having completed training in teaching and learning in higher education of at least five weeks at the time of taking up the position, they must complete such training within two years of starting the position.

Swedish language skills of at least level C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages are required. The applicant must be a licensed physician and a specialist in internal medicine.

Assessment criteria 

The applicant must demonstrate teaching, research, administrative and clinical expertise of significance for the subject and in the assessment particular weight will be accorded to teaching expertise. 

The applicant is to demonstrate teaching expertise of relevance to the subject as well as within teaching and supervision in the first, second and third-cycles (undergraduate, Master’s and postgraduate research studies). This can be demonstrated by a good ability to plan, lead, develop and implement education, as well as the ability to apply clinical expertise in teaching components. The ability to lead first and second-cycle  education (undergraduate and Master’s) will be considered an additional merit.

Furthermore, the applicant is to demonstrate research expertise through their own current research being conducted at a high national and/or international level. Research expertise is demonstrated by publications in international scientific journals, grants obtained in competition, and experience in national and international research collaboration. Furthermore, research expertise is demonstrated through research programmes relevant to the subject and fulfilling the conditions for long-term career development.

The applicant is also to demonstrate proven leadership ability, capacity for cooperation and the ability to collaborate with wider society. Furthermore, the applicant must demonstrate current and relevant clinical expertise in internal medicine.

When appointing teaching staff, in addition to that set out in the Higher Education Ordinance, the Lund University Appointment Rules and the Faculty of Medicine’s General Requirements Profile and Assessment Criteria for Senior Lecturers, applicants are required to be suitable for the position and to have the general ability to fulfil their work duties well.
