The LUT School of Energy Systems (LES) seeks two associate professors (non-tenure track) to join its developing organisation.
The research fields of the LUT School of Energy Systems are energy technology, electrical engineering, sustainability science and mechanical engineering. The school’s strengths lie in its understanding of energy systems, the digital design and production of machines and devices, and advanced welded metal structures.
The duties include both research and undergraduate education to Finnish and international students in a range of contact and remote teaching environments. The teaching takes place on both of the university’s campuses in Lappeenranta and Lahti, and online.
One of the appointed applicants will focus on teaching mathematics, and the other will assist in teaching mathematics and will be responsible for teaching basic engineering physics and mechanics in the school.
An associate professor (non-tenure track) is required to have a doctoral degree, the pedagogical competences and teaching skills necessary for the position, proof of high-level research work and publications, and the ability to lead a research group and raise research funding.
The teaching duties requires a vision on the pedagogically suitable and efficient planning and implementation of studies in engineering mathematics, mechanics and basic engineering physics.
In research work, the applicant must display interest and skills in at least one of the school’s key fields of technology (sustainability science, energy technology, or electrical or mechanical engineering) and the ability to apply mathematical methods wide-rangingly in the school’s research projects in collaboration with other researchers.
Successful performance requires good English skills and the ability to teach in English. The position also calls for good Finnish skills, but if two people are appointed, the other person does not need good Finnish skills.
The aim is for one applicant to start on 1 June 2020 (or as soon as possible – the date will be specified in the employment contract) and for the other to start on 1 August 2020.
Both positions emphasise teaching and will be filled for a four-year term. The salary is determined in accordance with the current collective agreement. The work starts with a six-month trial period.
The closing date for applications is 17 May 2020. Please submit your application and its appendices (CV, copy of your doctoral diploma, account of important merits and activities relevant to the position, list of publications, account of teaching merits) through the university’s online application system.
