Teaching Business Intelligence at Kristianstad University

Do you want to teach Business Intelligence in the economics program and the master's program, thereby contributing to making our students employable?

At the Faculty of Economics, research and education are conducted in the fields of working life, economics, and design.

Our programs make students employable, and they come into contact with the business community already during their education. Within the Department of Business Administration, there is the Bachelor's program in Economics with specializations in Accounting and Auditing, Banking and Finance, International Marketing, and Business Intelligence, as well as several standalone courses.

We offer a master's program in Accounting and Auditing for sustainable business and Marketing for sustainable business. Our research is conducted both by individual researchers and within the research environment GRIP, an interdisciplinary research environment with members from both economics and working life, as well as within the newly established research environment “Frontiers in Marketing.” The faculty also includes the research environment DARC, with members primarily based in digital design.

Job Responsibilities

As a university lecturer in business administration with a focus on Business Intelligence, you will work with teaching, supervision, and examination within the economics program, primarily within the Business Intelligence specialization but also in standalone courses.

Your responsibilities also include contributing to the development of the subject area and being responsible for courses and course development. The majority of courses within the economics program's BI specialization are offered online but also include elements of campus-based teaching and examination. Other specializations in the economics program are campus-based. In addition to teaching, research is also part of the responsibilities. Research can be conducted both independently and in collaboration with others within the existing research environment. The university has a mandate to collaborate with the surrounding community, which you are expected to contribute to.
