Oslo Metropolitan University is Norway's third largest university with almost 22,000 students and over 2,500 employees. We have campuses in central Oslo and at Romerike. OsloMet educates students and conducts research that contributes to the sustainability of the Norwegian welfare state and the metropolitan region.
The Department of Mechanical, Electronic and Chemical Engineering has a vacant position as Associate Professor in Biotechnology. We are looking for a candidate with a talent and a passion for teaching, research and innovation.
The candidate is expected to actively strengthen and shape the academic community and research activities at the department and the university in general. The department collaborates with several academic environments at the Faculty of Health Sciences, and we want to strengthen the collaboration, including the expertise in analysis of large-scale data for biomedical issues. We are looking for a candidate who actively wants to build up research activity within this area in an interdisciplinary environment internally at OsloMet and in collaboration with external research groups. The candidate is expected to apply for and secure external funding.
The candidate is expected to teach at the bachelor's engineering program in biotechnology and chemistry at the department and initiate and carry out relevant professional and pedagogical development work such as the development of a master's program. The engineers of the future must have a high level of professional competence and the ability to work interdisciplinary in an international environment. Students must acquire and develop solid theoretical knowledge and practical skills in addition to social skills. The department emphasizes that teaching, supervision and development must take place in a good learning environment. Our employees must therefore have a positive attitude towards students in development, in addition to having a solid academic and theoretical background.
Candidates who have no relevant qualifications in pedagogy at the time of appointment must commit themselves to complete OsloMet's programme for basic pedagogical competence (15 ECTS credits) within two years.
The university will test pedagogical skills in connection with a personal interview.
