Job Description

The work consists of teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as conducting research in statistics. The work also includes course development, course responsibility, and thesis supervision. The applicant is also expected to carry out pedagogical development work and participate in other institutional work such as being a member of committees and working groups.

Teaching and thesis supervision at the undergraduate level is mainly in Swedish and at the graduate level exclusively in English.

The applicant is expected to contribute to the institution's development work in research and teaching.

Eligible to be employed as a university lecturer is the one who has completed a doctoral degree in statistics, or another related subject, or has equivalent scientific competence and shown pedagogical skill. Applicants who have not completed a doctoral degree in statistics must have documented skill that clearly strengthens the statistical competence.

The applicant should have documented ability to use English in speech and writing at a professional level. This is shown, for example, by documented experience of teaching in English or certificates of language skills corresponding to at least B2 level (CEFR).

The applicant should have the ability to collaborate as well as the ability and suitability otherwise needed to carry out the duties well.

Special and equal weight is placed on pedagogical and scientific skill within the subject area of statistics or another related subject. Scientific skill is shown through clearly documented experience of research. Pedagogical skill is shown in the normal case through teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The skill should be well documented in a way that makes it possible to assess the quality of the pedagogical activity.

Great weight is placed on:

• documented ability to collaborate with coworkers and colleagues.
• having successfully planned, sought, and obtained grants for research projects from external funders.
• documented experience of integrating statistical theory with modern computational methods in education or research.
• documented ability to use Swedish in speech and writing at a professional level. This is shown, for example, by documented experience of teaching in Swedish or certificates of language skills corresponding to at least B2 level (CEFR).

Weight is placed on:

• administrative skill as well as the ability to collaborate with the surrounding community and to inform about research and development work.
• documented experience of applying statistics in other subject areas.

Meritorious is higher education pedagogical training of at least 15 higher education credits or equivalent knowledge acquired in another way.

The position is for an indefinite period, full-time, and the start date is agreed upon.

The position includes competence and research time according to the current terms of employment agreement.

Applicants who lack higher education pedagogical training of at least 15 higher education credits and who are not deemed to have acquired equivalent knowledge in another way should undergo such training during the first two years of employment.

Swedish language proficiency is not a requirement for the position, but applicants who are offered the position and who do not master Swedish at the time of employment should be prepared to, if necessary, within two years, take on administrative and pedagogical tasks that require understanding and use of Swedish.

Since the social science faculty strives for a more even gender distribution among university lecturers, the institution would like to see women applying for the position.

A scientifically active and well-merited applicant has the possibility, after agreement, to receive extra allocation of research time within the position with up to 20% of full-time in addition to the current terms of employment agreement for a maximum of two years.
