Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering, temporary position - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The Department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Science educates engineering students, teacher students and preparatory year students. The largest research group works in electrical engineering, automation and the strategic research area Intelligent Industry. The subject of electrical engineering at the University of Gävle is in an expansive phase in terms of doctoral education. One of our colleagues will be on leave and we are now looking for a substitute senior lecturer in electrical engineering with a focus on robotics, automation and/or signal processing.

Tasks

The purpose of the strategic research area Intelligent Industry is to create conditions for sustainable production. In our research, this means automation, sensor-based signal processing and exoskeletons. We are looking for a senior lecturer who can participate in our research projects and teach courses in our degree programmes in the subject of electrical engineering.

The tasks related to research mean that you participate in existing projects but also write publications and participate in research applications. Research includes collaboration with external actors and work for internationalisation. The position includes teaching and course management on our programmes at both undergraduate and graduate level. Teaching will take place both on campus and remotely. In addition, supervision may be included at undergraduate and graduate level.

The place of employment is Gävle and most of the working hours are on campus.

- Experience of collaboration between universities and companies.

- Completed a supervisor course.

- The employment requires that you have good co-operation skills and the ability to collaborate and create good relations with both internal and external parties.

- The position involves a great deal of freedom to organise your work, which is why you need to have initiative and be self-motivated.
