We strive for equal gender distribution and see diversity as a strength and welcome applicants with different backgrounds and genders. We recruit for the future and hope that you will stay with us in some capacity even after the summer. When permanent positions or longer temporary contracts become available, we recruit primarily from our summer temporary workers. We look forward to hearing from you! Welcome with your application and CV by September 20. We are a public organization. Your application will therefore be a public document that is public.
