Postdoctoral Fellow in Gender Studies with Educational Science Focus
Position Responsibilities The postdoctoral fellow will conduct independent research in gender studies with an educational science focus on the theme: Youth, Violence, and Gender in Schools. Schools play a central role in efforts to promote safety, democratic values, and gender equality. Issues of violence in young people's close relationships, honor-related violence, youth perpetration of violence, and recruitment into criminal environments underscore schools' responsibility as learning environments and social arenas. Against the backdrop of increasing polarization and the report Schools Against Crime (SOU 2024:14), we aim to strengthen research on violence, safety, and gender in school environments. Research might address, for example, how issues of violence, safety, and vulnerability are shaped in relation to norms, gender relations, and schools' values-based work. Critical perspectives on norm-criticism, safety, and inclusion in school environments are also relevant within the scope of this call's theme. The research must be described by the applicant in a research plan submitted with the application for the position. As a postdoctoral fellow, you are also expected to contribute to the unit's shared research environment and to participate in and support a pedagogical environment. Teaching and supervision at the undergraduate and advanced levels, and possibly doctoral level, as well as certain other research-related administrative tasks may comprise up to 20% of your working time. The position is at Umeå Centre for Gender Studies but also aims to strengthen educational science research across Umeå University. As a postdoctoral fellow, you will actively contribute to the interdisciplinary career program for newly graduated doctors that the School of Education runs. There are also opportunities for collaboration with other research environments at the university, for example in pedagogy, didactics, and social work, as well as with researchers working on issues of violence, safety, and gender. Qualifications Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in gender studies, in educational science with a gender focus, or in another closely related subject area deemed relevant to the research conducted at Umeå Centre for Gender Studies and to this call's theme. Those with foreign degrees assessed as equivalent to the above may also be considered qualified. To be eligible for appointment as a postdoctoral fellow, applicants must have completed their doctoral degree by the time the appointment decision is made. You must not have previously been employed as a postdoctoral fellow for more than one year in the same or a related subject area at Umeå University to be eligible. First priority will be given to those who completed their doctorate within three years before the application deadline. If special circumstances exist, those who completed their doctorate earlier may be considered. Special circumstances include leave due to illness, parental leave, clinical service, positions of trust within labor organizations, or similar circumstances. Applicants must be able to express themselves well in English, both orally and in writing. Good proficiency in Swedish, both orally and in writing, is desirable. Evaluation Criteria We welcome applicants who conduct or have conducted research on violence, safety, gender, and norms relevant to school environments and educational science questions. Research employing norm-critical or critically analytical perspectives on schools' values-based work, safety, and inclusion is also relevant to this call. The most important evaluation criterion is the contribution to the research field as described in the applicant's research plan and previous scientific output. The ability to conduct independent research and to participate in research collaborations are also important qualifications. Teaching forms part of the position, and documented experience in teaching at the undergraduate and advanced levels, as well as university pedagogical training, is therefore desirable. Since the main part of the postdoctoral appointment consists of independent research, scientific competence weighs more heavily than pedagogical and educational competence in assessing applicants' qualifications. Other evaluation criteria include strong collaborative skills and other qualities deemed necessary for successfully carrying out the position's responsibilities. About the Position The position is at Umeå Centre for Gender Studies at Umeå University, with work location in Umeå. Regular presence at the workplace is expected, as is active participation and engagement in the unit's activities. The position is a fixed-term, full-time appointment for two years. The appointment includes independent research for at least 80% of working time. Start date: December 1, 2026, or by agreement. Application Applications must be written in Swedish or English and include the following documents: Cover letter with a brief description of your qualifications, scientific interests, and motivation for applying for the position (max two pages) CV/list of merits Maximum 3 scientific publications Authenticated copies of transcripts and degree certificates Research plan (max 2,500 words) describing the research you plan to conduct on the theme: Youth, Violence, and Gender in Schools within the scope of the appointment Contact information for at least two references Any other merits you wish to mention Applications are submitted through our recruitment system Varbi. The application deadline is August 30, 2026. For further information, contact Director Åsa Karlsson Sjögren, [email protected], +46 90 786 62 48 We welcome your application!

Temporary Substitute Bioinformatician at the UPSC Bioinformatics Platform
Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology The Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology is part of Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC, https://www.upsc.se/) which is a centre of excellence for experimental plant research and forest biotechnology in Northern Sweden. Our mission is to perform excellent and innovative basic research and generate knowledge that benefits forestry, agriculture, environment and society. We work across a wide range of disciplines in plant science reaching from cell biology to ecophysiology and from basic research to industrial applications. Our common goal is to understand the plants' ability to grow, adapt and acclimate to a changing world and how we can breed better plants. About the Position The Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) is a world-leading research center in plant physiology and forest genetics. Its research activities generate large volumes of data that require bioinformatics resources and software for analysis. UPSC is a collaboration between the Department of Plant Physiology at Umeå University and the Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Within SLU, a university-wide infrastructure currently provides bioinformatics support: the SLU Bioinformatics Infrastructure (SLUBI). As SLUBI will be phased out by the end of 2026, a bioinformatics position is being established within the UPSC Bioinformatics Platform (UPSCb). UPSCb is part of the broader bioinformatics environment in Umeå, most of which is co-located with UPSC, comprising more than thirty professionals working for both local and national organizations (for example, SciLifeLab NBIS). In your role within the UPSC Bioinformatics Platform (UPSCb), you will provide bioinformatics support and services to research groups and participate in a variety of projects. The position involves managing several projects simultaneously. Projects are typically short-term, lasting a few months, and often require close collaboration with biologists. To ensure that data analyses carried out within the platform maintain a high standard, you will participate in bioinformatics seminars every other week and take part in the platform's study sessions once a week. The platform supports participation in courses and workshops for professional development and is also involved in delivering such training at both local and national levels. You can expect to work on short, challenging projects in a supportive and dynamic work environment and, over time, take responsibility for the analysis of multiple research projects. Your Profile We are looking for candidates who hold a PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, or a related field. You should be highly familiar with Unix/Linux and at least one programming language such as Python, R, C, or C++. Strong collaboration skills and excellent English proficiency are required. UPSC is an international environment, and the position requires a strong ability to interact with biologists, who make up the primary user group of the UPSC Bioinformatics Platform (UPSCb). UPSCb also provides user support, in some cases over extended periods and for more comprehensive projects. Therefore, previous experience in supervision, mentoring, or teaching is considered an advantage. As you will be an important member of the UPSC Bioinformatics Platform, a small unit consisting of five employees, you must demonstrate a strong ability to independently organize, manage, and report your work. You will work alongside other experts within the platform and the broader bioinformatics community, who are often highly specialized in specific technologies such as RNA-Seq, metagenomics, or epigenetics. Therefore, experience in processing and integrating multi-omics data (for example genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) is considered meritorious. Population-related projects are also common, making experience with whole-genome studies and eQTL mapping an additional advantage. About Us UPSC belongs to two universities, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Umeå University. About 200 people from more than 40 different nationalities work here. We host some 30 principal investigators, and our researchers have access to state-of-the-art analytical platforms, unique tree germplasm resources and plant growth facilities. We strive for a collaborative work environment and support our scientists throughout all career stages by providing professional training opportunities and individual career mentoring.
