University Adjunct in Physics to Technical-Natural Science Basic Year

University lecturer in physics to technical-natural science base year

Uppsala University is a broad research university with a strong international position. The task is to conduct research and education of the highest quality and to interact with society in different ways. Our most important asset is all those individuals who, with their curiosity and commitment, make Uppsala University one of the country's most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has 44.000 students, 7.100 employees and a turnover of 7 billion SEK.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is one of Uppsala University's largest with close to 400 employees, of which about 125 PhD students. The department conducts world-class research and education in both theoretical and experimental physics and has extensive collaboration with the outside world. The research is carried out at 10 research departments and involves everything from the unimaginable small to the large within, for example, energy supply, climate development, new materials and the universe. This whole spectrum is also reflected in the courses and programmes of the department. Around 2 500 students each year study courses at basic and advanced level at the department.

The base year of science and technology gives students the opportunity to supplement natural sciences so that eligibility for university studies in such subjects is possible. In terms of the number of places, 300, it is one of the largest programs on the Teknat Faculty. The programme attracts students with high merit points (https://shorturl.at/seWxg). After completing the basic year of education, the students have a reserved place for further studies at Uppsala University according to a specialization they have chosen. The base year is located at the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

Description of the subject area of employment: Together with the other teachers of the base year, you will mainly teach physics and the introductory course to the base year. You will also organise and develop the training, as well as participate in the work of the basic education department regarding the administration of the base year. Your own research in physics will be conducted at one of the departments of intuition.

Competence requirements:

Degree with subject deepening from higher education (doctoral degree in physics).

Pedagogical skill. It is required that the pedagogical skills and subject-depth study are relevant to the subject area of the position and the tasks to be included in the position.

In the selection of eligible applicants, particular importance will be attached to both documented and documented applications.Substance Deepeningaspedagogic skills special attention will be paid to teaching skills. In the selection of qualified applicants, particular importance will be attached to substance deepening in physics. Substance Deepening refers to a doctoral degree in physics. Subject knowledge in mathematics and chemistry at university level is a merit for the position.

Substance Deepeningmay refers to a doctoral degree. In addition to academic merit, experience from other activities, including, for example, technology development, can also be taken into account.

How the planned own research fits into any of the department's research programmes will be given great importance because the research activities within the framework of the service will be within one of the research programmes.

Experience of working abroad in the context of the deepening of the subject, e.g. ex. at universities, research institutes will be given importance.

Pedagogic Skill refers to training and teaching qualifications. In addition to academic qualifications, training and teaching qualifications from other activities, which include, for example, supervision, internal training or mentoring programmes, may also be taken into account. The assessment of pedagogic skills must primarily take into account pedagogic quality. Scope, both width and depth, shall also be assigned importance. In assessing pedagogical skills, particular attention will be paid to teaching experience at university level and in particular to teaching experience on qualification programmes at universities (as opposed to university studies). the base year), as well as experience from work on the development of courses and course elements, as well as examinations in courses at university level.

In addition, the ability to plan, initiate, lead and develop education and teaching, as well as the ability to research teaching based on research in the subject, subject education and higher education education will be given importance. The ability to interact on educational issues with actors within and outside the university is also part of the teaching skills.

Administrative skillsis important for employment and will be given great importance. Administrative skills are demonstrated through, among other things, the ability to plan, organize and prioritise work in an efficient and purpose-appropriate way, as well as the ability to set and keep time frames.
