Mittuniversitetet,

Gaskeuniversiteete/Mid-Sweden University is located in the middle of the Southern Sami area in Sápmi. The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences operates at Campus Sundsvall and Campus Östersund. Activities include research and education within the subjects of Civics, Comparative Literature, Criminology, English, Gender Studies, History, Political Science, Sociology, Southern Sami, Swedish as a Second Language, and Swedish Language. The research is conducted within each respective subject and within the Risk and Crisis Research Center (RCR), Forum for Gender Studies (FGV), and DEMICOM (an interdisciplinary centre for research on journalism, crisis communication, media development, and organizational and political communication).

We offer English courses at undergraduate level, a one-year master’s programme, and a doctoral programme, as well as courses within teacher education programmes.

Duties: The teaching consists of campus and internet-based courses within English linguistics, in particular grammar, pronunciation, and academic writing. Currently campus teaching has been replaced by seminars in Zoom.

Qualification requirements: Applicants are required to have a PhD in English Linguistics and must be able to demonstrate scientific as well as pedagogical expertise in the subject. A good knowledge of Swedish is also required. As the duties include teaching courses in the teacher training programme, subject-didactic qualifications are an advantage, especially regarding courses for teachers of the younger age-groups. Many of our courses at undergraduate and advanced level are internet-based distance courses; therefore experience in internet-based teaching is also an advantage.

Processing: The recruitment process follows the regulations of the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 4, and in accordance with the appointment rules of Mid Sweden University.

Application: The application should include a curriculum vitae supported by appropriate documentation, a description of scholarly and pedagogical merits, including certificates of teaching qualifications, and a complete list of publications.
