Senior Lecturer (EXPIRED)

Main responsibilities
Job responsibilities include research, teaching and supervision in theoretical philosophy with a particular focus on the philosophy of science. Teaching will include the general philosophy of science and the philosophy of social sciences and humanities, as well as more specific topics within the holder's areas of competence.

Employment as a Senior Lecturer means entitlement to later apply for promotion to Full Professor.

Qualification requirements
In order to qualify for employment as a senior lecture, the applicant must have demonstrated teaching skills, has either obtained a doctoral degree or has equivalent scientific or other professional skills relevant to the subject content and the tasks that are to be included in the employment.

No preference is given to candidates already competent in Swedish. However, sufficient competence within 2-3 years will be required, and the successful candidate will undertake to acquire such competence within the period.

Assessment criteria
In the appointment process, special and equal emphasis will be given to scientific and pedagogical proficiency - especially with regard to the type of teaching mentioned above.
