We offer, among other things:

The position is located within the Department of Social Work, Criminology, and Public Health Science. We are one of three departments at the Academy of Health and Working Life. Within the department, there are four degree programs: bachelor's program in investigative criminology, bachelor's program in social work with a focus on international social work, social worker program, as well as master's programs and doctoral education in social work with a focus on health-promoting working life.

The Rector has decided that a master's program in criminology should be developed, and eventually a doctoral education in criminology. Therefore, a master's program in criminology is currently being established. Additionally, there are standalone courses and commissioned training. The bachelor's program in investigative criminology has high demand among first-choice applicants in the country, and the education is conducted online.

We are now looking for a part-time to full-time temporary university lecturer in criminology.
