Since December 2020, after all employees of the Faculty of Medicine had the opportunity to nominate scientifically qualified members (including deputies) and external members (including deputies), the Nomination Committee has been working to develop proposals for the constellation of six (6) full members and three (3) deputy members.
The Nomination Committee's proposal shall consist of three (3) women and three (3) men and three (3) group deputies who shall include at least one woman and at least one man.
The Heads of Departments have examined the electoral roll to ensure that it is comprised of scientifically qualified teachers with the right to vote. Those with the right to vote are scientifically qualified teachers with a position in the Faculty equivalent to at least 50% of full-time. Scientifically qualified refers to those with doctoral degrees. The Dean has subsequently finalized the Faculty's electoral roll, on 9 April 2021. In total, the Faculty has 357 teachers entitled to vote in the Spring 2021 election.
The Nomination Committee has decided on its proposal, on 2021-03-29.

Eklund, Anders

The Nomination Committee has also notified the Academy Secretary of its proposal for an external member, and their deputy, prior to a decision by the Vice-Chancellor.
