ASSOCIATE PROFESSORSHIP/alt. FULL PROFESSORSHIP IN BIOLOGY (MARINE BIOLOGY) is available at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo. Further information on scientific profile, responsibilities, working duties, and other issues relevant for the position are given in a detailed job description available at this link http://www.bio.uio.no/positions or on request to Senior Executive Officer Bente Schjoldager, Tel. + 47 22 854704, e-mail: bente.schjoldager@matnat.uio.no.
The research in the Department of Biology is organised into three programmes: Integrative Biology, Marine Biology, Microbial Evolution Research Group, and in an integrated Center of Excellence - Center for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CoE-CEES).
Currently, the Department of Biology holds a permanent academic staff of 32.
This position comes under the program for Marine Biology, which currently employs a permanent academic staff of 7, 1 adjunct associate professor (20%), and 2 technicians. The program also engages a varying number of internally and externally funded PhD students and post doc researchers, depending on funding. About 20 master students are associated with the program. Research focuses on the biology and biodiversity of macroalgae and planktonic algae, the ecology of soft bottom sediments and pelagic ecology. Research in pelagic ecology focuses on the behavior and ecology of zooplankton and fish, as well as their predator-prey relationships. Marine research is also carried out within the other research programs at the department and at CEES.
We are seeking a person with expertise and research profile in field-based ecological research on zooplankton or fish. The appointed candidate should strengthen, and complement the research that is already carried out at the department and establish a field-based activity in marine pelagic ecology, alternatively in combination with experimental studies. It is expected that the appointed candidate will aim at acquiring external funding to subsidise his/her research. A doctoral degree, strong publication record, and teaching experience are required.
The person appointed must be able and willing to participate in teaching, supervision and examination in marine biology at all levels (bachelor, master, PhD), as well as teaching more general undergraduate courses. The appointed person must also undertake administrative duties in accordance with current provisions.
The application must contain information on education, previous appointments and work experience, scientific and pedagogical activities, documentation of teaching and administrative experience.
Applicants must deliver four (4) copies of the following items before the application deadline:
· Application, CV, and attachments
· Up to 10 selected scientific publications the applicant wishes to include in the evaluation
· A list of scientific publications with bibliographic references
· A portfolio containing documentation of teaching experience, capability of external fund raising and other qualifications the applicant wants to have considered

Further information are given in “ Rules for the assessment and weighting of pedagogical competence for appointments to permanent academic posts which include teaching duties� and can be found at:
http://www.uio.no/admhb/reglhb/personal/tilsettingvitenskapelig/rulesassessmentweight.xml
Pedagogic qualifications beyond basic competence may give a competitive advantage in the ranking of otherwise equally scientifically competent applicants.
The top candidates normally have to go through an interview and trial lecture before the final ranking of the applicants.
Formal procedures for appointment to permanent scientific positions are given in “Rules for Appointments to Professorships and Associate Professorships�,
