Here we are at the end of a long but rewarding day, together with my colleague Heiko Droste. We both served as external experts on the hiring committee at the Joint Faculties of Humanities & Theology, at the Lund University. The shortlisted candidates delivered their well-prepared trial lectures and participated in interviews. For a productive and successful day, my thanks go to the members of the committee — and especially to Johannes Persson (Dean and Chair) for his excellent moderation throughout this extensive process — as well as to Anna Kvist, the recruitment coordinator, for ensuring a smooth and well-organized procedure. Overall, I have been very impressed by the high standards and transparency that have marked this hiring process from the very beginning.
