Workplace Description

SI-PASS (Supplemental Instruction / Peer Assisted Study Sessions) is a highly successful pedagogical model developed in the USA during the 1970s and has spread to many educational institutions worldwide, including several in Sweden.

As an SI leader at LTH, you will be employed by the LTH administration and receive your SI leader training from the European Centre for SI-PASS at Lund University. You will work closely with both teachers and those responsible for the SI program within LTH, as well as with other SI leaders, both within and outside the same subject.

We Offer

In addition to preparing and leading SI sessions for the current course, you will also:

• Market SI as a whole and your SI sessions in various ways.
• Register and report attendance after each SI session.
• Write a reflective report after each SI session.
• Schedule your own SI sessions in contact with the scheduling group, and assist with SI administration.
• Collaborate with the course instructor to exchange information and facilitate planning.
• Other tasks may also occur.

A prerequisite for your employment is that you attend the SI leader training, which will be held over two full days in August. LTH will provide its training on August 17-18, 2026, and August 19-20, 2026. More sessions will be offered by the European Centre for SI-PASS. You will be automatically invited to the training upon employment.

Working hours are scheduled during teaching hours, i.e., Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00.

• You have been recommended by your SI leader or a teacher.
• You have completed SI leader training at Lund University.

Consideration will be given to how the applicant, through their personal qualities, experiences, and competencies, is assessed to complement and strengthen the work within the SI operations and contribute to its future development.

We are looking for 50-60 teaching assistants. The employment is temporary for the relevant SI courses where the periods are indicated under the heading "Tasks" and refers to a scope of 10%.
