The employment includes own competence and research time, which is stipulated by the local agreement for teachers.

Teaching proficiency should normally have been demonstrated through teaching experience at both the undergraduate and master’s levels. Teaching proficiency should be well documented and in a manner that makes it possible to assess the quality of the teaching activities.

Excellent English language skills are a prerequisite. Since the teaching is mainly in English, the applicant must have skills in using English in spoken and written communication, to be validated for instance by giving evidence of experience in teaching in English.

The applicant must have the ability to cooperate with colleagues as well as other abilities that are required in order successfully to meet the demands of the position.

Assessment criteria
Special and equal emphasis will be placed on teaching, supervision, and research skills within the discipline.

Strong emphasis will be placed on a documented ability to cooperate well with colleagues and fellow researchers.

Emphasis will be placed on administrative skills and proven collaboration with the surrounding society and dissemination of research and development findings.

Emphasis will also be placed on having successfully planned, applied for and obtained research project funds from external research funding bodies.

Teaching and learning in higher education
It is a merit to have completed at least 15 higher education credits in teaching and learning in higher education or to have otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge.
