SLU Global is recruiting a head of unit

The head of unit will have overall responsibility for the unit’s activities, including planning, budgeting and budget follow-up. In addition, you will be partly responsible for the working environment, and will be expected to promote a positive and creative atmosphere. You will report to, and work closely with, the pro vice-chancellor for international relations on the strategic development of global operations. For administrative matters, you will report to the head of the Vice-Chancellor’s Office, and will also belong to the VCO management group.

We are looking for someone with a doctoral degree or equivalent who is fluent in English and has proven experience in international collaboration and global development work. The successful candidate must also have managerial experience – ideally with some kind of leadership training – and be communicative, clear and motivated. Experience in research, teaching, capacity development and communicating with external audiences would be an advantage, as would knowledge of languages other than English. A proven interest in, and experience of, collaboration with other disciplines would also be a plus.

More information about the recruitment can be found on SLU's website, in both Swedish and English.
