Descripción:
In order to qualify for the position, the applicant must have obtained a doctoral degree in Spanish Literature and Culture or have a corresponding scientific competence. Eligible candidates are those applicants who obtained the doctoral degree or corresponding scientific competence no later than seven years before the deadline for applications.

The applicant’s research skills should be demonstrated through individual research as well as capacity to initiate and carry out research of high quality within the subject area. Teaching skills should be demonstrated through teaching different types of courses. These skills should be well documented in a manner that makes it possible to assess the quality of the teaching and research activities. Applicants must have documented experience in teaching and supervision in the subject area.

An associate senior lectureship is both a research and a teaching position. The applicant is expected to be able to teach in Spanish and either English or Swedish from the first day of employment. Applicants who do not have Swedish or English as their first language must be able to document their ability to teach in either of these languages.  A general assessment criterion is the ability to work with other people, as well as other general abilities required to perform one’s duties.

Assessment criteria
-In the selection among eligible candidates, special attention will be given to research skills demonstrated through individual research. Great attention will be given to teaching skills demonstrated though teaching in the first and second cycles. Administrative skills will also be considered.

-Attention will be given to the applicant’s potential to contribute to the future development of both research and education in close collaboration with the Department’s research groups.
Since the assistant senior lectureship is a tenure track position, the applicants’ research and teaching qualifications should primarily be assessed in terms of quality. An applicant’s quantitative advantage, which can be explained by the fact that the applicant has been active for a longer period of time, should not be decisive.

-Private circumstances (e.g. parental leave) that may count in the applicant’s favour in the assessment should be mentioned in connection with the presentation of qualifications and experiences.

Closing date: 16 October 2017
