As a Senior Lecturer at MDU, your main tasks are teaching. Teaching also includes supervision, examination, course evaluation and course development.

The tasks also include general administration and competence development as well as participating in the daily activities, in the work of the subject and the academy.
The position includes work with education, research and collaboration. We are looking for you who have broad expertise in the field of mechanical engineering as we have courses in the entire field integrated with courses in sustainable design and innovation. The tasks include:
• Teaching of programme students in courses such as CAD, machine elements, solid mechanics, materials engineering, design

• Contribution to the further development of our new educational programmes in mechanical engineering with a focus on innovative product development

Qualification requirements
We are looking for a person with documented teaching skills and a degree of Doctor, or equivalent academic competence.
To be qualified for appointment as a Senior Lecturer one must have demonstrated the academic skills and teaching abilities required for the appointment.
Teaching skills and academic competence shall be well documented in such a way that their quality can also be assessed.
In order to be employed as a teacher at MDU, training in higher education teaching and learning, or equivalent acquired knowledge, is required.
A person appointed as a Senior Lecturer but lacking training in higher education teaching and learning will be offered in-house training within two and a half years. The course in higher education teaching and learning at Mälardalen University corresponds to ten weeks of training.

• Experience from obtaining external funding
• Good ability to give presentations and orally present a topic.
• Good oral and written communication skills in Swedish at the level required to perform regular tasks in research, teaching and administration. If knowledge of Swedish is lacking, employment may still take place provided that the person hired has the ability to actively acquire this knowledge. The ability to teach and conduct research in English is a requirement for employment.
Assessment criteria
The assessment criteria will be based partly on the degree of skill required for the position and partly on the ability and suitability otherwise required to carry out the work duties.

• Experience in planning, implementing and developing courses in education for programme students and professionals

In addition to these personal qualities, great emphasis will be placed on the candidate's:
Collaborative skills with colleagues, students and external stakeholders. You should be innovative, curious and knowledge-seeking, as well as reflective and analytical to help identify good solutions.
