- 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.
In addition to the established basic assessment criteria, according to the Appointment Regulations for Mälardalen University, there are also some other criteria that apply to this position. These criterias are:
- Experience in planning, implementing and developing courses in education for programme students and professionals
- Experience in supervising doctoral students and participating in the implementation and development of doctoral programmes
- Experience in project management
- Experience in international cooperation in research and education.
In an overall assessment of suitability, emphasis is also placed on personal abilities. All employees at MDU are expected to cooperate and treat colleagues and students with respect, take responsibility for the organisation and their own work duties and contribute to a positive work environment. 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.
