The Recruitment Committee has now selected five people who will go on to the next stage of the recruitment process for the deputy vice-chancellor of Lund University, whose term of office begins on 1 January 2021.

After the first round of interviews the result is that the following people go on to in-depth interviews and tests with an external recruitment consultant as well as a second interview with the Recruitment Committee:

  • Lena Eskilsson, senior lecturer and pro dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences
  • Karin Hall, professor and pro dean of the Faculty of Science
  • Lena Neij, professor at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics

In mid-November, the Recruitment Committee will present one or more candidates to the Electoral College, which will interview the candidates and vote for the candidate that they recommend. The University Board will appoint a new deputy vice-chancellor at its meeting on 15 December.

The Board has previously decided to recommend Erik Renström as vice-chancellor of Lund University for the term of office starting on 1 January2021. The Government appoints the vice-chancellor and its decision is expected in November.
