Welcome to Linnaeus University! Here you'll meet 2 200 staff members and 40 000 students, all united in following the vision to set knowledge in motion for a sustainable societal development. With us, research and education are conducted with an eye towards the future. Our proximity to the business world, both locally and globally, gives us a wide reach and the ability to create change that makes an impact. All that's needed is a place where ideas have the space to meet and grow. That's what we've created – and you are invited.

Change starts here!

The School of Business and Economics, one of five faculties at Linnaeus University, engages in research, education, and collaboration in the fields of business administration, economics, statistics, and tourism studies. The School of Business and Economics is accredited by AACSB.

Globalisation and new technologies, such as automation, digitalisation, and AI, bring both challenges and opportunities, leading to the emergence of entirely new forms of leadership and organisation, as well as products and services; business models; markets; and competitors. For this to contribute to a positive societal development, understanding the change in businesses and public operations is crucial. Research shows that key factors involve innovation and entrepreneurship; leadership; organisation; financing; robust supply chains; and new forms of marketing.

These are areas where the School of Business and Economics plays a vital role. We are now investing heavily to tailor our activities to the challenges presented by the technological shift and in future-oriented teaching and research environments where big data, digital tools, and methods are used interactively to create and transfer new knowledge.

Given this, there has been an increased demand for research competence, doctoral supervision, and teaching in leadership, organisation, and human resource management (HRM). Therefore, we are looking for a distinguished senior lecturer who wants to join us on this developmental journey!

The position is within the subject area of organisation and leadership at the Department of Management at the School of Business and Economics. Activities are conducted on campus in Kalmar and Växjö, as well as digitally.

Subject area for the position: business administration with specialisation in organisation and leadership. The position is part of the Department of Management at the School of Business and Economics.
Placement: Kalmar or Växjö. The majority of the employment is to be carried out on the placement location, but duties may also take place at other locations within the university.
Terms of employment: Permanent position, 100%.
Start date: By agreement. A probationary period is normally applied.
