Business and Economics, Translation,
International Languages and Teacher Education.

Job assignments
The position, which is a qualifying

expected to actively seek research funding
during the latter part of the appointment. The
teaching assignments will consist of lectures,
seminars and examinations, as well as
supervision of students. The position may also
include pedagogical development and cooperation
within the Department’s interdisciplinary
programmes (the first-cycle programme in
International Languages and the planned
second-cycle programme in World
Literature).
Eligibility
Qualified for appointment as Associate Senior
Lecturer is a person who has been awarded a PhD
(or has equivalent academic qualifications) no
more than seven years prior to the application
deadline within a subject area relevant to the
position in question. If there are special
grounds, priority will also be given to
applicants with degrees obtained more than
seven years prior to the application
deadline.
Assessment
Regulations for the evaluation of
qualifications for academic positions are given
in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher
Education Ordinance. In the assessment of
qualifications, equal attention will be given
to pedagogical and scholarly competence as well
as other relevant qualifications. In the
selection process, special attention will be
given to documented qualifications within the
following areas:
- Scholarly competence in the subject area in
question, demonstrated through research and
development work, and through scholarly
publications;
- Pedagogical competence in the subject area in
question, demonstrated through experience of
planning and implementation of education,
including supervision and examination;
