Careers centre organizes together with Future Faculty a seminar on teaching opportunities on December 15th at BMC: “Teaching at the Faculty of Medicine – Who, when, and how?“.
The programme and a registration form can be found on intramed: https://www.intramed.lu.se/en/calendar/teaching-faculty-medicine-who-when-and-how.
If you are you an early stage international researcher currently in Sweden (second-year up to PhD awarded within the last two years), you might be interested in participating in a Vinnova-supported project to map the ability of Swedish universities, to guide international researchers to a possible career outside of academia after completing research/doctoral studies.
To access the research project survey, follow the link: https://survey.liu.se/Survey/12123
Your participation is really appreciated! Feel free to forward this survey to any early stage international researcher that you think would be willing to help researchers to get a better understanding of career-related support for international researchers in order to achieve a career outside of academia.
If you want more information about the research project, please contact the project manager Therese Lindkvist (therese.lindkvist@liu.se).
A position as Associate Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, that might be of interest to our members, has been posted recently on Lund University’s recruitment system. The deadline to apply is 15th February 2024.
More information here.
Note: It is a merit to not have received salary or stipend in Sweden, but not a requirement, so it might be worthwhile to apply even if you are already in Sweden.

November is Academic Writing Month! AcWriMo is an international web-based event where academics encourage and challenge themselves to achieve their writing goals.
For the occasion, Future Faculty organizes a writing day in several locations at the Faculty of Medicine on November 22nd from 9:00 to 15:00.
For this day, the idea is to meet up and work together, on our own tasks. We will alternate between focused sessions and breaks with time to mingle.
You are welcome to come for all or part of the day. Fika will be provided, lunch is at your own expense.
Limited places available. Priority will be given to Future Faculty members but registration is also open to PhD students and non-members. Register here.
Join us for an afterwork in Lund!
