Responsibilities

The position involves teaching at undergraduate and advanced levels, as well as independent research in statistics. The role also includes course development, course coordination, and supervision of theses. The appointee is expected to engage in pedagogical development work and participate in other departmental activities, such as serving on committees and working groups.

Teaching and thesis supervision at the undergraduate level are primarily conducted in Swedish, while teaching at the advanced level is conducted exclusively in English.

The appointee is expected to contribute to the department's development efforts in research and teaching.

Qualifications

To be eligible for appointment as a Senior Lecturer, one must have a PhD in Statistics or a closely related field, or possess equivalent scientific competence, and have demonstrated pedagogical skill. Applicants who do not hold a PhD in Statistics must have documented proficiency that clearly substantiates their statistical competence.

The applicant must have documented ability to use English in speech and writing at a professional level. This is demonstrated, for example, through documented experience of teaching in English or a certificate of language skills equivalent to at least level B2 (CEFR).

The applicant must possess both the ability to collaborate and the general aptitude and suitability required to perform the duties of the position effectively.

Evaluation Criteria

Particular and equal weight is given to pedagogical and scientific competence within the field of Statistics or a closely related subject. Scientific competence is demonstrated through clearly documented research experience. Pedagogical competence is normally demonstrated through teaching at both undergraduate and advanced levels. This competence must be well documented in a manner that allows for the assessment of the quality of the pedagogical activities.

Significant weight is given to:

• documented ability to collaborate with colleagues.
• successful planning, application, and acquisition of grants for research projects from external funders.
• documented experience in 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 demonstrated, for example, through documented experience of teaching in Swedish or a certificate of language skills equivalent to at least level B2 (CEFR).

Weight is given to:

• administrative competence and the ability to interact with the surrounding society and to disseminate information about research and development work.
• documented experience in the application of statistics in other subject areas.

Merits include university-level pedagogical education of at least 15 higher education credits or equivalent knowledge acquired in other ways.

About the Position

The appointment is permanent and full-time, with a start date to be agreed upon.

The appointment includes competence and research time according to the current collective agreement.

Applicants who lack university-level pedagogical education of at least 15 higher education credits and who are not assessed to have acquired equivalent knowledge in other ways must undergo such education during the first two years of employment.

Additional Information

Proficiency in Swedish is not a requirement for the appointment; however, an applicant offered the position who does not master Swedish at the time of employment must be prepared to take on administrative and pedagogical tasks requiring understanding and use of Swedish within two years if necessary.

As the Faculty of Social Sciences aims for a more balanced gender distribution among Senior Lecturers, the department welcomes applications from women.
