Welcome to apply for a job with us!

We are looking for you who enjoy collaborating closely with others while also being able to work independently. You adapt easily to different tasks and create structure in everyday life. With us, you will have a coordinating role where you contribute to creating structure and ensuring that daily operations run smoothly.

This is a fixed-term position for you who enjoy variety in work and can quickly get up to speed with new tasks.

About the job

As a coordinator with us, you have a broad administrative role where a large part of the work involves departmental administration. You provide operational support to the department's sections and contribute to ensuring that administrative processes run smoothly in everyday life. The role also includes educational administrative tasks related to undergraduate and graduate studies. This means you work closely with managers and employees in the daily life of the departments and support processes within the education area.

Within departmental administration, you provide broad and operationally close administrative support to managers, employees, and operations. You work, for example, with economic and invoice issues, travel, bookings, and meetings, as well as planning activities and events, and support in questions concerning personnel and organization. The role involves many contact surfaces, and you become an important link between the departments, the institution, and the university's support functions.

As part of the role, you also work with educational administration related to undergraduate and graduate studies, for example, course registrations, exam administration, theses, and eligibility, as well as administrative support in processes concerning doctoral students. You may also work with registry, document management, and other related administrative tasks.

The work suits you who enjoy switching between different tasks and contexts while keeping track of what needs to be done. Since the needs of the operation may change over time, you must also be able to help with other administrative tasks.

About you

We are looking for you who adapt easily when conditions change and thrive in a role with various types of tasks. You plan and prioritize your work, take responsibility for what needs to be done, and drive your tasks forward. You collaborate well, are receptive in contact with people, and like to find solutions.

You easily get up to speed with new issues and ways of working. You express yourself fluently in Swedish and feel confident using English in work, both orally and in writing.

Since the work involves many contact surfaces, the role suits you who are confident in reprioritizing and happy to help where it makes the greatest difference.

You have a high school education and at least two years of experience in administrative work. You have good computer skills and are accustomed to working in administrative systems.

A university degree is meritorious. Experience working at a university or college is also meritorious, as is experience in similar administrative work or a related role. It is also meritorious if you have worked with educational administration, administered in Ladok, or provided support to other users in the system.
