    Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, with a population of over one and a half million inhabitants, is a major cultural and scientific center.

Consideration is also given to administrative skills, in particular leadership ability. Proficiency in Swedish (Scandinavian) or English is necessary. Wherever appropriate, a willingness to learn Swedish is assumed.

    Salary is negotiable. The University is an Equal Opportunities employer, and since most professors at the Faculty of Liberal Arts are men, applications from female candidates are particularly welcome. Since the position is a full-time job, residence in the Stockholm area is necessary.
