Mandattiden för den nya nämnden är från första januari 2007 till sista december 2009. Vi i valberedningen har samtalat med många personer i den tekniska fakulteten vid våra institutioner, samt med ledamöterna i dagens fakultetsnämnd. Vid samtalen har många kompetenta personer föreslagits. Vi har också samrått med valberedningarna för FFN, SNL, universitetsstyrelsen samt med rektor enligt valföreskrifterna. Efter att ha tagit hänsyn till att nämndens representanter på ett bra sätt bör täcka in våra verksamhetsområden, representera såväl män som kvinnor, ha en rimlig åldersspridning samt engagera nya personer i arbetet, så har vi kommit fram till att nedanstående personer bäst svarar upp emot de krav och förväntningar som fakulteten gett uttryck för.

Civilingenjör i Industriell arbetsmiljö, avslutning produktionssystem, Tekniska högskolan i Luleå, 1990. Teknologie doktor inom ämnet arbetsvetenskap, Luleå tekniska universitet, 1998. Anställningar och uppdrag vid Institutionen för arbetsvetenskap, Luleå tekniska universitet Doktorand i arbetsvetenskap 1990-1998 Forskarassistent i arbetsvetenskap 1998-2001 Lektor i arbetsvetenskap 2001-ff Tf prefekt 1999 Proprefekt 2000 Prefekt 2001-2006 Under min period som doktorand var jag ordförande för doktorandsektionen, satt med i tekniska fakultetsnämnden och som ledamot i institutionsstyrelsen (vilket jag också gjorde som student). Efter disputationen 1998 blev jag anställd som forskarassistent och utförde på uppdrag av Norrbottens läns landsting en utvärdering av vård- och arbetsorganisationen vid Sunderby sjukhus. Parallellt med detta arbetade jag under hösten 1999 som prefekt vid Institutionen för arbetsvetenskap, eftersom den dåvarande prefekten vistades utomlands. Vid hans hemkomst blev jag proprefekt och koordinator för forskarutbildningen vid institutionen och sedan utnämnd till prefekt i januari 2001. I samband med detta befordrades jag till universitetslektor. Under perioden 2001-2005 arbetade jag alltså i huvudsak som prefekt (70 %), men undervisade också både på grundutbildnings- och forskarutbildningsnivå samt fortsatte med forskningsprojektet vid Sunderby sjukhus. Under 2003 och 2004 arbetade jag också med en studie om långtidssjukskrivna läkare på uppdrag av Norrbottens läns landsting. Som ett resultat av att jag beviljats strategiska medel för kompetensutveckling från Tekniska fakultetsnämnden har jag sedan januari 2006 återgått till att arbeta på heltid med forskning och undervisning. Jag handleder för närvarande fem doktorander (egentligen fyra, eftersom en disputerade 22 september i år), undervisar på grund- och forskarutbildningsnivå och arbetar med att vetenskapliggöra tidigare uppdragsforskning genom att skriva artiklar. Utöver detta skriver jag forskningsansökningar, bl. a. till FAS och Vinnova, i syfte att kunna rekrytera fler doktorander till Avdelningen för industriell produktionsmiljö. När det gäller interna uppdrag har jag under åren som prefekt varit med i ett antal arbetsgrupper, t ex. i styrgruppen för universitetets ledarutvecklingsprogram, ett program som jag också själv deltog i under 2001 och 2002. Dessutom är jag för närvarande med i universitetets styrgrupp för IDAS, ett nationellt kompetensförsörjningsprogram. Inom ramarna för samma program, men på nationell nivå, har jag sedan 1999 deltagit i seminarier för kvinnligt akademiskt ledarskap i regi av Sveriges universitets- och högskoleförbund. Jag har dessutom, också inom ett delprojekt av IDAS, representerat Ltu vid ett antal nationella seminarier om ”Att leda i akademisk miljö år 2020”. Sedan 2002 är jag också ledamot i styrelsen för Institutet för rymdfysik i Kiruna. 7 (19) Roland Larsson Full name: Erik Roland Larsson Place and date of birth: Smedsbyn, Norrbotten, 22 June 1964 Married to: Gudrun Wilhelmsson-Larsson.
