Appointment of the Dean

In consultation with the Vice-Chancellor, the remit of the Election Committee also includes identifying a suitable candidate for the role of Dean for the period 2021-07-01–2025-06-30. The Election Committee proposes that Professor Hans-Erik Nilsson serve as Dean for the period 2021-07-01–2023-06-30 and that Professor Dan Bylund takes over the role of Dean for the period 2023-07-01–2025-06-30

The Election Committee has worked hard on the proposal for Dean. Through dialogue with heads of department and subjects, the Election Committee has obtained information about important characteristics and experiences of a future Dean. The process has also included colleting suggestions for Dean, and discussions have been carried out with a number of candidates. During the process, the Election Committee realized that current circumstances would make it difficult for a new Dean to take over as soon as 1 July 2021. The solution proposed to the Vice-Chancellor aims to facilitate a systematic and well-planned transfer of duties.

More information about the process and continued work will be published next week on the employee website.
