relevant. Malmö University is organised into four faculties and one school: the faculties of Health

Technology.

About Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Welfare and Diversity (MIM):
MIM was established in 2007 as a joint research institute of Malmö University focusing on
migration research. The Institute has around 20 associated researchers (including the Guest
Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt), one doctoral studentship and a research fellow
financed by the City of Malmö. Over the years, a long line of prominent, internationally renowned
researchers have held the Guest Professorship and, after five years, the Institute is now in a
phase when it is important to maintain a high standard of quality while at the same time renewing
and improving the research environment so that it inspires our staff to develop MIM into one of
the leading institutes in Europe in the field of migration research.

disseminating development results, research findings and new-found knowledge. Internally, you
will be expected to initiate consultation and information exchange with the relevant parties within
the University.

The post of Director also involves coordinating applications for external funding within the
Institute's various areas of activity, leading the research seminar forum, supervising doctoral
students and conducting your own research.

Qualifications:
The successful candidate will combine good researcher skills with the ability to lead, inspire and
develop research environments for the long term as well as represent the Institute and Malmö
University in various networks.
