Academic path: what you need to become a research leader?

Are you aspiring to build a future in academia, perhaps leading your own research group one day? Or are you already taking the first steps toward that goal?

Navigating an academic career involves more than research excellence alone. There are practical aspects, institutional frameworks, and expectations that shape the journey—sometimes openly discussed, sometimes less so. In this session, Docent Ganna Petruk and Associate Senior Lecturer Jacob Vogel will share personal experiences and insights from their own paths toward becoming independent research leaders. Lhinn Holmbergh, Administrative Manager at the Department Office of Laboratory Medicine, will provide valuable perspectives on academic regulations and procedures—essential knowledge to help you move forward confidently, whether or not you see these aspects as central to your research.

Join us for an open conversation designed to support early-career researchers.

The FF Steering Board elections are approaching

Nominations for the Faculty of Medicine’s Future Faculty 2025-2026 Steering Board (term: June 15, 2025 to June 14, 2026) are open until April 30.  Nominate yourself or another Future Faculty member to be a candidate by completing the form below. It takes approximately five minutes and should include a brief description of why you/your nominee is a strong candidate for the Steering Board. Any nominee must be informed beforehand and be willing to join the steering board if elected.

Nomination form: https://survey.mailing.lu.se/survey/58908

Why become a Steering Board member?

The Future Faculty Steering Board meets ten times a year to organize events for our members, support our task forces (e.g., the annual retreat, the Minerva award and the VR starting grant support program), and discuss ongoing work in other boards where we have a Future Faculty representative (e.g., the Faculty of Medicine board, the Docent committee and the Swedish National Junior Faculty). As a Steering Board member, you provide a valuable service for your fellow Future Faculty members and have the opportunity to influence broader faculty decisions. You get an inside view into how decisions are made at the Faculty of Medicine and learn more about the organization and function of Lund University and Swedish academia generally.  

What’s next?

After the nominations are collected, all Future Faculty members will be invited to vote in the election, which is scheduled to happen in May. The new steering board will meet in June to elect a chair and vice-chair for the coming term. Other tasks on the board will be divided during a kick-off meeting in August.

More information

If you are not yet a member of Future Faculty, you can become a member here. Email the elections chair (Annelise, annelise.blomberg@med.lu.se) with any questions about nominations or the election process. 

We look forward to receiving your nominations!
