Vacant job

We are looking for a tenured university lecturer in nursing science for a permanent position at the Department of Health Sciences, Örebro University.

Subject Area

The subject area for the position is nursing science.

About Us

The Department of Health Sciences (HS) offers undergraduate and advanced education in the nursing program and six specialist nursing programs. Research in the field of nursing is conducted with a focus on human health and learning within various research groups, concentrating on patients of all ages and their relatives, professional development, as well as method and theory development. We are seeking a tenured university lecturer who is a licensed nurse with documented competence in asepsis, sterility, and wound care. These positions are part of a long-term initiative to build our academic capacity in teaching and research to meet future needs.

In autumn 2025, the implementation of a new nursing program at Örebro University began. The new program places increased emphasis on clinical and academic competence, with closer collaboration with regional and municipal healthcare providers.

We welcome you as a new employee and offer you the opportunity to develop within both teaching and research based on your previous experience, competence, and future goals.

Responsibilities

As a university lecturer, your primary focus will be on teaching within the education program, primarily at the undergraduate level, along with associated collaboration. A university lecturer should also contribute to the university's development.

The responsibilities of a tenured university lecturer primarily include teaching within the nursing program, although teaching at the advanced level in the specialist nursing programs may occur. Tasks related to teaching may include, among other things, course responsibility, examination duties, planning, examinations, supervision, evaluation, and administration. You are also expected to conduct research and development work, participate in competence development, and follow knowledge development within the current subject area.
