The Section of Higher Education Pedagogy is part of the university library, whose overarching mission is to support education, research, and collaboration. The university library is a learning environment and a resource for information provision, knowledge dissemination, and education. The work takes place in dialogue with the university's students, teachers, and researchers. Together, we are approximately 70 employees with diverse professions.
Contribute to sustainable, high-quality education
We are looking for you to lead and develop the operations of the Section of Higher Education Pedagogy. The section brings together scientific expertise in the field of higher education, competence development processes, and ICT pedagogy in order to support the university's education and competence development. Within the section, there is responsibility for accredited higher education pedagogy programs, research supervisor training, and courses in examination in higher education and pedagogical leadership. The section also offers consulting activities and various types of competence development for all staff categories.
The educational environment management unit, which is responsible for education support systems such as the learning platform, media services, survey systems, digital examination systems, and plagiarism detection, is housed within the section. This also includes ICT pedagogues' support to teachers in the use of digital methods in teaching and writing instructors' support to primarily students in academic writing, reading, presentation, and study techniques.
The role involves personnel and work environment responsibility for 20-25 employees. You will be part of the university library's management team, participate in strategic discussions in various forums, and contribute to the university's development in dialogue with the faculties. Environmental monitoring is central to the role, and space may be made for some personal research.
