Are you enthusiastic about developing the field of paramedic science?

Two part-time positions (50% of a full-time position) as assistant professor/university teacher are available at the Department of Nursing and Health Promotion, the Faculty of Health Sciences, in the field of paramedics. It may be relevant to appoint one person in a full-time position if deemed appropriate. It is preferable if the person appointed can start in the position as soon as possible.

We are looking for someone who is ambitious on their students’ behalf, who enjoys teaching, supervision and research, and who is prepared to use various digital learning resources.
