Cooperation skills, ability to cooperate with the surrounding society and ability to apply and get external research funding will also be taken into consideration when making the appointment.

Other information:
The appointments are full-time positions, with a time limit of two years.

Appointments procedure at GU E 5 4898/10).

The salary will be set specifically for the individual. The university promotes equality and diversity. Most of the lecturers at the Department of Economics are male, and so we would be very pleased to receive applications from women.
