Professor In Specialpedagogik

The subject of specialpedagogik at Stockholms universitet is a cross-disciplinary field that bridges several scientific areas, based on the interplay between individual, context, and society. Knowledge in this area focuses on interventions before difficulties arise, as well as facilitating individuals with various disabilities and/or those in socially vulnerable life situations.

The position includes competence and research time according to current terms of employment. The appointed professor should actively participate in developing leading specialpedagogical research from a national and international perspective.
