The School of Education, Culture and Communication offers education and carries out research in languages, literary studies, music, education, special education, mathematics and physics, which together form an organisation with both breadth and depth. Over 200 employees work here, at the two campuses in Eskilstuna and Västerås.
The School of Education, Culture and Communication is seeking to further extend its research community, especially in the field of English Studies and education. Therefore we now seek to recruit a Full Professor of English, with a profile either in Linguistics or Literature, as well as a research interest in teaching and learning.
A key responsibility for the new professor will be to take a leading role in the development of research and teaching in English Studies and the teacher training programmes. Other duties of the post include research, teaching ? primarily within English Studies and the teacher training programmes ? as well as supervision at undergraduate and postgraduate, including doctoral, levels.
The successful applicant will be expected to take an active role in course development, and to promote close collaboration with private and/or public sector bodies in the surrounding community. The position also involves subject-related administrative responsibilities.
Applicants must demonstrate their academic skills in the form of independent research work which to a significant degree exceeds the requirements for a docent or reader (see the University?s Guidelines for assessing the competence of a docent). Guidelines for docent appointments at Mälardalen University Importance is also attached to documented experience of the planning and leading of research projects.
Academic skills may further encompass the ability to achieve results through cooperation in joint research projects ? of benefit to academia as well as industry/the public sector/society in general ? and the ability to disseminate research findings.
Experience of and skills in teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels are also required. The assessment of teaching skills will include the planning, carrying out and evaluation of teaching as well as supervision and examination. Therefore, teaching skills must be documented in such a way that their quality can be assessed.
The applicant should have completed 10 weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning, or have acquired equivalent knowledge in another way. A person appointed as a professor but lacking training in higher education teaching and learning will be offered an in-house course at Mälardalen University during the first year, corresponding to 10 weeks of training.
For further information, please consult the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 4, and the Appointments Procedure for Mälardalen University.
The assessment criteria will be based on the skills required for the appointment. In general terms, the assessment criteria include the ability to cooperate as well as the ability and suitability otherwise required to fulfil the duties well.
The same degree of attention will be paid to the assessment of teaching skills as to the assessment of research and other academic skills.
