Professor of English Literature - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Duties: In addition to conducting research within English Literature and teaching undergraduate, master’s and doctoral courses, the professor is expected to collaborate with colleagues to develop research, courses, and contacts with the community of relevance to research and education. Therefore it is essential that the professor is present at the workplace. The professor is also expected to play an active role in the doctoral programme and in attracting research funding. Adminstrative tasks also form part of the duties.

The applicant must satisfy the requirements according to university guidelines (miun.se/anstallningsordning, miun.se/huv/handlaggningsordningar). 

One research profile of the English subject is ecocriticism, therefore research experience within this field is of particular merit.
