We are looking for up to two senior lecturers in Electrical Engineering for permanent employment at the School of Science and Technology.
Subject area
The subject area for this position is Electrical Engineering.
Background
We are looking for up to two new colleagues to strengthen our teaching and research related to electrical engineering, at the intersection of electrical engineering, robotics, and autonomous systems. Topics of interest include control theory, signal processing, sensors, electronics and mechatronics; potentially extending towards robot manipulation, robot perception and machine learning. If you are passionate about advancing knowledge in these fields and enjoy working in an internationally connected research and educational environment, we would love to hear from you.
The positions are based at the school's unit for computer science, which conducts education in both computer science and electrical engineering, and is home to the research environment AASS (applied autonomous sensor systems) which is a dynamic and multi-disciplinary constellation at the intersection of computer science, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and cybersecurity. The successful candidate is also expected to interact with the university-wide centre for AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity (ARC).

Duties and responsibilities
As a senior lecturer, you will divide your time between teaching at all levels, research, and any associated public engagement activities.
On the teaching side, you will contribute to courses spanning the breadth of electrical engineering, from foundational to advanced level. This includes courses in electrical circuits and electronics, digital electronics, control theory, digital signal conditioning and processing, and electrical machines. Over time you will be expected to develop your own courses. Teaching encompasses supervision, examination, course development and administration, planning and evaluation. Teaching can be done in Swedish and English. On the research side, you are expected to publish in relevant international venues and attract external research funding. You will be integrated into the research environment with possibilities to establish an independent research agenda connected to the unit's general topics.
There are also opportunities to take on leadership roles in research and education (for example, shaping degree programmes or leading a research team) and to contribute more broadly to the development of the unit's activities.
Qualifications
Those qualified for appointment as a senior lecturer are applicants who have demonstrated teaching expertise and been awarded a doctoral degree in a subject matter relevant for the position, or have the corresponding research competence or some other professional expertise that is of value in view of the subject matter of the position and the duties that it will involve.
A general eligibility criterion for teaching staff at Örebro University is to have completed courses on teaching and learning in higher education corresponding to 10 weeks. Knowledge and skills equivalent to such courses may also be assessed to establish whether these provide eligibility. A teacher who at the time of appointment lacks such training or the equivalent competence must complete the required courses no later than within two years of taking up the position.
