Subject area Molecular and translational medicine Subject area description Molecular and Translational Medicine is a subject that encompasses basic and applied research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the onset, progression and treatment of diseases. Combining experimental biomedicine with clinical research, the field is a key component in the development of precision therapies and personalised medicine. Advanced methods in molecular biology, genetics, cell and tissue biology, and omics-based technologies (e.g. genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) are integrated with clinical observations and patient-oriented data within the subject. This translational focus means that laboratory research findings are applied to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of complex diseases, such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular conditions, inflammatory conditions and processes, and osteoporosis. The subject also involves developing new experimental models, biomarkers, and therapeutic strategies, and investigating how molecular networks influence health and disease at a systems level. Research is often conducted through interdisciplinary collaborations, bringing together clinicians, biologists, bioinformaticians, and pharmaceutical scientists to enable the faster transfer of research findings into clinical benefits. The Department of Medicine conducts strong research in areas such as metabolism, gut microbiota, osteoporosis, inflammatory conditions and processes, pulmonary medicine, endocrinology and cardiovascular medicine. While it would be advantageous for the successful candidate to have experience in one or more of these areas, this is not a requirement. The primary criterion for the position is scientific excellence, and researchers with outstanding documented scientific merit across the entire field of molecular and translational medicine are encouraged to apply. Duties The position as an Associate Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Molecular and Translational Medicine mainly involves conducting excellent research in the subject area. The research should have a clear molecular and translational focus with the potential to contribute to a better understanding of the origin, progression and treatment of diseases, as well as to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The research is expected to be conducted independently and in collaboration with other researchers within the department, faculty and the university’s clinical environments, particularly Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The position mainly involves research, but also teaching and supervision at undergraduate, advanced and postgraduate levels in related subjects. Teaching may include lectures, seminars and supervision of degree projects and doctoral students. Employees who lacks higher education pedagogical training is expected to complete such training within one year of starting the position. The position provides opportunities for pedagogical development and advancement, with the goal that the employee will meet the requirements for promotion to senior lecturer during the period of employment. The employee is expected to actively seek external research funding, contribute to a strong scientific environment, participate in the department’s seminars and develop national and international collaborations. For promotion, the applicant is required to have acquired proficiency in Swedish, both written and spoken, at a minimum of level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), no later than six months before the expiry of the employment as Associate Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor). The University of Gothenburg will provide Swedish language courses, which are mandatory as part of the employment. Eligibility The eligibility criteria for employing an Associate Senior Lecturer are set out in the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.

Assessment criteria The assessment criteria for employing an Associate Senior Lecturer are set out in the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg. In the assessment, scientific proficiency will be given the greatest weight. Teaching proficiency will be given the second greatest weight, and administrative proficiency and the ability to collaborate and cooperate will be given the third greatest weight. Particular importance will be attached to the ability to conduct and develop research of the highest scientific quality in the field of molecular and translational medicine. In addition, particular importance will be attached to publication in peer-reviewed national and/or international journals, where scientific quality is prioritised over quantity of output. The ability to obtain external research grants, nationally or internationally, in a competitive environment is meritorious. It is also meritorious if the applicant, in addition to a doctoral degree (PhD), has a medical degree (MD), as this is considered particularly valuable in strengthening the translational research profile. Significant international experience is highly meritorious and is normally expected for this position. Such experience is usually obtained through postdoctoral stays at foreign universities (or an international PhD degree and postdoc in Sweden), but may also be based on longer research exchanges. When assessing pedagogical skills, particular emphasis will be placed on documented experience of teaching at undergraduate, advanced and/or research level within the subject area, as well as documented ability to supervise students and/or doctoral students. Administrative skills refer to experience of academic leadership, such as coordination of research or educational activities, and contributions to the development of the department or faculty. Great importance will be attached to the ability to collaborate, and to the ability to initiate and develop collaboration with external actors such as healthcare, industry and society. Employment Fixed-term employment for 6 years, full-time (100 %). Placement at the Institute of Medicine. Starting date as agreed. The position as an Associate Senior Lecturer (Assistant
