Welcome to Linnaeus University! A place for knowledge, ideas and development. For growth potential and a belief in the future. In Småland and in the world.

The Department of Design is located in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, which is one of Linnaeus University's five faculties. The faculty offers a dynamic, flexible and international learning environment with both scientific and artistic activities in a wide range of fields. We build complete academic environments in which the interplay between tuition, research and collaboration acts as a catalyst for quality improvements at the university and in society at large.

Design is a powerful force for change and for development towards a sustainable society. At the Department of Design, we offer programmes and courses which provide the student with sound knowledge of design and a solid foundation in the field of sustainability. Tuition takes place in teams whereby different teachers with practical, theoretical and artistic perspectives teach together. Via our research, the department contributes to sustainable societal development.

Subject area for the position: Design

Location, until further notice: Kalmar

Scope of the position: 55%

Duties

The candidate's main duty is to use teaching and research as tools to develop international student groups' understanding of art and design practices and their impact on people's living conditions in line with the department's focus on sustainability, curiosity and art and design as catalysts for change. The successful candidate will primarily teach on the programme Visual Communication + Change but also take responsibility for the artistic components on the department's other programmes on under- as well as postgraduate level.

As all the department's educational programmes are international and English is the working language at the department, the successful candidate will be expected to communicate in English with a considerable degree of proficiency, orally and in writing.

As an employee, you will actively participate in the Department of Design's internal and external work and follow and support the development of contemporary art and design practices and associated disciplines such as art and design history and theory, with special emphasis on sustainability. Given our sustainability focus, our teaching teams include researchers from several different fields and disciplines, and as an employee you will be expected to work in transdisciplinary teaching teams and in collaboration with external partners.

Another one of your duties as an employee is to participate in the development of all of the department's design programmes.

Qualifications

To be eligible for the position of Senior Lecturer in an artistic field, you must have demonstrated pedagogical proficiency. You must also have obtained a PhD in the arts, demonstrated artistic ability or have other professional competence equal to a doctoral degree.

In accordance with Linnaeus University employment regulations, "pedagogical proficiency" refers to the planning, conducting and evaluation of teaching, as well as supervision and examination. Previous experience of programme coordination and course development on under- as well as postgraduate level is thus considered a particular merit.

Artistic ability must have been demonstrated via a documented artistic and professional ability of high standard, and must show a reflective approach to professional practice. As the position will involve teaching on the programme Visual Communication + Change, competence in the field of graphic design, visual communication and contemporary fine art practice with a focus on sustainability and social engagement is a prerequisite, with experience of working with photography, video and exhibition design considered a particular merit. The position will also involve responsibility for the artistic components of design modules and courses on other programmes, on under- as well as postgraduate level. Experience of working at the intersection between fine art and design practice is thus deemed particularly valuable.

The application must be written in English.
