A track record of scientific expertise in geomorphology, specifically in earth-surface processes is required. Research focused on risk analysis with important social relevance is an additional, desired qualification. In addition, documented skills in Geographical Information Systems, both in research and in teaching is considered an important qualification. The research should principally be documented by publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The documented ability to obtain research grants from research councils and other external research financiers is the next most important criterion.<br>
<br>After that comes teaching expertise within the subject area for the position. Teaching expertise should be documented in terms of the amount of teaching done as well as experience in planning, organizing and leading courses as well as supervising students. <br>
<br>This permanent appointment will be made following a holistic evaluation of documented qualifications, competence and skills in the specified fields, as well as an assessment of each candidate’s potential to carry out the specified tasks, collaborate with the existing staff and contribute to the development of the subject and the department. <br>
<br>The university is striving for a more even gender balance in its research and teaching staff. Since most teachers of the Faculty are men, women are especially invited to apply for this position.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;line-height:18px;font-size:0.75em">
