Promotion

If you are a lecturer with a permanent position (employed until further notice) you can apply for promotion to senior lecturer; if you are a senior lecturer with a permanent position you can apply for promotion to professor.

The general rule for promotion is that the subject area must be the same as for your current position. Promotion does not automatically entail changed terms and conditions of employment.

Information about promotion is provided in Chapter 4 of the Appointments Procedure and in Chapter 7 of the Instructions for the Appointments Procedure, see the below documents.

You are welcome to contact befordran@sh.se for information on how to apply, or if you have other questions.
