Description

We offer courses and programmes at all levels, supported by robust research in the disciplines as well as in multidisciplinary research groups, of which the largest is CTF, the Service Research Center (kau.se/en/ctf). Substantial national and international networks provide a good basis for new research projects and commissioned courses.

Duties involve teaching organisation and marketing in Swedish and supervising bachelor and master essays. Teaching duties in other areas of business administration such as management and financial management may also be included. A certain amount of research may be included in the position upon consultation with the head of the department and the director of studies.

The eligibility requirement for appointment as senior lecturer is a doctorate in business administration, or another field relevant to the specialisation of the position. Applicants must be able to demonstrate research and teaching expertise in the discipline at higher education level.

A completed course in teaching and learning in higher education is a requirement for appointment. Under special circumstances, this course may be completed within two years of employment as part of the professional development commitment.

For other qualification requirements, see Karlstad University’s regulations for the appointment and promotion of teaching staff and Ch. 4 Sec. 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
