Assistant University Lecturer in Computer Science

Description:

with focus on novel computational and data representation methods for efficient artificial intelligence Do you want to develop your research and teaching in an environment where collaboration with industry and society is self-evident? With us, you will work with engaged colleagues, have access to modern research infrastructure, and good opportunities to attract external funding. You will have the space to make a real difference for your students, your research, and society at large. Luleå University of Technology is in an expansive phase and is implementing an initiative to strengthen research and education in computer science, with particular focus on algorithms, data structures, and advanced computational models. Computer science is a rapidly growing and changing field that forms the foundation of today's and tomorrow's digital society. Developments in artificial intelligence, large-scale data handling, and distributed systems impose increasing demands for new ways to represent, process, and interpret information. To meet these challenges, research and education that combines classical computational models with new approaches to computation and representation are required, especially in high-dimensional and complex data environments. This initiative is directly related to the university's computer science environment and offers good synergy opportunities with research groups in, among others, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cyber-physical systems, and data-intensive applications. We therefore see a focus on research and development of new methods for representing, processing, and analyzing complex information as important. These methods range from basic research at the method level, for example algorithm development and models for efficient information representation, to applied research in collaboration with other groups. The computer science subject at the Department of System and Space Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, is now seeking an assistant university lecturer to contribute to our growing activities. Subject Description Computer science encompasses research on algorithms, data structures, computational models, and software engineering for developing resource-efficient, distributed, and intelligent systems with applications in the digital infrastructure of the future. The subject also has a particular responsibility for didactic development within the foundations of computer science. Duties The assistant university lecturer will be engaged in the university's education in courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, pedagogical development work and research are included, primarily within new approaches to computation and data representation, especially in high-dimensional and complex data environments, but also other sub-areas within computer science based on your own research interests and ongoing research projects. Qualifications To meet the requirements for employment as an assistant university lecturer, the applicant must have completed a doctoral degree, or have a foreign degree that is assessed to correspond to a doctoral degree Preferably, the person should come into consideration for employment who has completed a doctoral degree at most five years before the application deadline. However, a person who has completed a doctoral degree or has achieved equivalent competence earlier can also come into consideration if there are special reasons. Special reasons refer to leave due to illness, parental leave, or other similar circumstances. Assessment Criteria The following assessment criteria apply to the position: scientific competence other assessment criteria The following other assessment criteria are weighted equally: Other Assessment Criteria: the degree of such competence that is a requirement for eligibility documented scientific competence through publications as first author in scientific journals and conferences of high quality documented research mobility, for example through postdoctoral stay or other research stay at an international educational institution or research environment with high scientific profile administrative competence that is significant in light of subject content and the work tasks included in the employment ability to collaborate with the surrounding society ability to communicate about research and development work ability to teach in Swedish Employment Duration This employment has a term of four years. Promotion to University Lecturer The purpose of the employment is to give the teacher the opportunity to develop their independence as a researcher and build qualifications both scientifically and pedagogically to meet the requirements for employment as a university lecturer. An assistant university lecturer shall, upon application, be promoted to university lecturer and given permanent employment if they have eligibility for a lecturer position, and upon review are deemed suitable for such a position according to the assessment criteria stated below. For promotion, the assistant lecturer is required to have completed higher education pedagogy training corresponding to 7.5 credits or alternatively acquired equivalent knowledge in another way. During the employment period, the assistant lecturer must also independently, to a considerable extent and with high quality, contribute to the university's research and demonstrate good pedagogical competence.
