Job description
Employment as an associate senior lecturer is a career-development position which aims to develop the holder’s independence as a researcher and educator.

The duties mainly include research and teaching, both at undergraduate, advanced and doctoral level. The position include teaching between 10-30% of full time. The type of tasks, as well as the distribution between teaching and research, may change over time.

The Faculty of Science offers a career programme for associate senior lecturers

The holder of the position should be able to maintain, strengthen and develop the department’s research in MR physics. The applicant's profile and future research focus are expected to complement the existing research expertise within the MR physics group.

The holder of the position is expected to collaborate with researchers, medical physicists and physicians at Skåne University Hospital (e.g. within Radiation Physics, Oncology, and Imaging and Functional Diagnostics), within the framework of clinically related research projects and clinical trials, as well as in pre-clinical research e.g. at Lund University Bioimaging Centre (LBIC). Through the collaboration with the university hospital and through international grants, there is access to state-of-the-art equipment, including an upgraded 7 T MRI camera with new coils (2024), a new 3 T MRI camera with ultra-strong gradients (2025), a portable low-field MRI camera (2023), and an MRI linac (2025). This equipment enables a wide range of research activities.

To support the development of the associate senior lecturer’s research activities, resources for funding of one doctoral student will be associated to the position.

The holder of the position shall, in collaboration with others in the research group, take responsibility for and develop doctoral courses in MR physics and related areas (e.g. in non-ionizing radiation) as needed. Supervision of degree projects and of doctoral students is included in the employment.

Qualification requirements
A person is qualified for appointment as an associate senior lecturer if they have been awarded a PhD or have the corresponding research expertise. Primary consideration should be given to candidates who have been awarded a PhD or achieved the equivalent expertise within seven years before the deadline for the application for employment as an associate senior lecturer. A person who has been awarded a PhD or achieved the equivalent expertise at an earlier date may also be considered if there are special grounds.

For this position, a PhD in Medical Radiation Physics or equivalent subject area is required.

Teaching staff at Lund University are required to be suitable for the position and to have the general ability to fulfil their work duties well.
