Vacant job

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked as one of the world's leading universities. There are approximately 47,000 students and more than 8,800 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We unite in our efforts to understand, explain, and improve our world and the conditions of people.

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Gender equality, equal opportunities, and diversity are fundamental principles for all parts of our operations.

The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University was established in 1994 and has since developed international and genuine interdisciplinary education and research focused on accelerating the transition to sustainability.

IIIEE strives to connect research results with their application and actively collaborates with companies, authorities, and organizations locally, nationally, and globally. At IIIEE, the activities are focused on: policy instruments, business models, sustainable consumption, and urban development.

IIIEE's MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are a prioritized activity aimed at enabling lifelong learning for individuals and thereby contributing to positive societal development. MOOCs are also a tool for more effectively disseminating research results. Likewise, MOOCs aim to support regular education and to train the organization's pedagogical skills for the increasing digitalization.

IIIEE is now seeking one or two teaching assistants to support the work with our existing MOOCs and the development of new ones. An existing course also needs to be revised to better address current themes and new knowledge.

Since 2014, IIIEE has developed eight MOOCs, with two or three more to be added in 2022. IIIEE has been able to track the courses' dissemination in terms of awareness, users, and the number of certificates issued after course completion.
