Your responsibilities

As a University Lecturer (Universitetsadjunkt), you will primarily work with teaching, where you give lectures, lead seminars, supervise students, and conduct examinations. You will also plan courses, create teaching materials, and follow up on and ensure the quality of the courses. Administrative tasks related to teaching are a natural part of the job.

The teaching covers both civil law and public law areas and may take place within several different educational programs within public administration, work science, or organization and leadership within healthcare and social care. It may also involve work in other educational areas where civil law is an important component, such as economics programs, civil engineering programs, information science programs, and others. Another part of your work involves participating in the planning and implementation of commissioned education, where you contribute to ensuring that the legal components maintain high quality and relevance.

As a teacher with us, you become part of a growing legal environment at the Academy of Health, Working Life and Welfare at the University of Borås. Teaching takes place both within standalone courses and within the framework of programs, and it is conducted in several different formats – distance learning, blended learning, and on campus.

Your qualifications

To be considered for the position, you should primarily have a law degree (270 higher education credits, 4.5 years) and secondarily a completed Master's degree in legal science or law, or equivalent scientific competence. You must demonstrate pedagogical skill and have experience of teaching in higher education. You should have taught in higher education within both public law and civil law areas in line with the responsibilities described above. You must also have experience of distance teaching.

You have good ability to communicate clearly and good knowledge of Swedish and English, both in speech and writing. You have good cooperation skills, good administrative ability, take initiative, and can work independently.

A general eligibility requirement for permanent employment as a teacher is a completed university pedagogy course equivalent to 10 weeks of full-time study, or equivalent competence. An employee lacking university pedagogy education must complete the course during the first two years of employment.
