Subject field
Environmental Geology
Subject description
The subject covers geology and geological processes in soil and rock, but also structural geology, tectonics, and geophysics. The subject also includes the combination of several mainly recent and exogenous geosciences of importance for construction, water supply, land-use planning, and the utilization of geological resources in society.
Duties
The work primarily includes teaching at the bachelor level and participation in teaching teams at the master level, which may also include participation in research, to some extent. The teaching involves planning (including scheduling, staffing, designing examination, and managing course web), coordinating, and running courses (e.g. lectures, seminars, study visits, assessing/grading, supervision of bachelor and master degree projects and course administration) in the subject area and in close collaboration with other staff. Teaching at the bachelor level is conducted mainly in Swedish.
Teaching also includes field studies, excursions, and laboratory work in hydrogeology/geology, including geophysical surveys, at both bachelor and master levels. Teaching at the master level is conducted in English and focuses mainly on Swedish geology and geophysical surveys for technical applications. Initiating and developing new activities within education (e.g. through collaboration with other schools and programs at KTH) may also be needed. Duties may also include responsibilities as Programme coordinator and/or Director of studies.
