Documented teaching experience and proficiency in mathematics or statistical sciences at the university or college level are also expected.

Proficiency in both Swedish and English, both written and spoken, is required, as the primary language of instruction at the undergraduate level is Swedish, while higher-level courses are typically taught in English.

A higher education teaching qualification of at least 15 credits or equivalent is necessary for this role. If such qualifications are not available at the time of application, they must be validated or the required training completed within two years of employment commencement.

In assessing pedagogical merits, emphasis will be placed on the ability to design and deliver courses effectively. Strong communication skills, the capacity to engage and inspire students, and accountability for one's responsibilities are crucial. Experience in teacher education is a plus.

Scientific qualifications will be evaluated based on documented research outputs. Post-doctoral research and international collaboration will be considered positively.

For teaching roles, the candidate who, after a comprehensive assessment of skills and development potential, is deemed best suited to fulfill the job responsibilities, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute positively to the organization will be selected. The overall evaluation will also consider how the candidate's qualifications and aspirations align with and enhance the organization.
