Description:
Specific subject description
The subject Chinese at the University of
Gothenburg has expanded considerably in recent
years. The current course of studies over three
semesters will soon be increased to five
semesters, thereby allowing for an entire
Bachelor's programme in the subject.
First-cycle courses in Chinese are also offered
within the Chinese track of the programme in
Business and Economics. The research is focused
on literature, religious studies and cultural
exchange between China and the Western World.
The researchers within the subject are
primarily involved in the research profile
Transculturality. The subject also cooperates
across departmental boundaries, mainly through
the Bernhard Karlgren seminar series.
Job assignments
The position, which is a qualifying
appointment, consists of both research (75%)
and teaching and some administrative work
(25%). In addition to independent research
activities, the successful applicant will be
expected to initiate new research projects in
cooperation with researchers involved in the
Department’s interdisciplinary research
profiles. The applicants must therefore
indicate on their application how their own
research can benefit further development of the
established profiles at the Department. The
successful applicant will be expected to
actively seek research funding during the
latter part of the appointment. The teaching
assignments will consist of lectures, seminars
and examinations. The position may also include
pedagogical development and cooperation within
the Department’s interdisciplinary programmes
(the first-cycle programme in International
Languages and the planned second-cycle
programme in World Literature).
Eligibility
Qualified for appointment as Associate Senior
Lecturer is a person who has been awarded a PhD
(or has equivalent academic qualifications) no
more than seven years prior to the application
deadline within a subject area relevant to the
position in question. If there are special
grounds, priority will also be given to
applicants with degrees obtained more than
seven years prior to the application
deadline.
Assessment
Regulations for the evaluation of
qualifications for academic positions are given
in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher
Education Ordinance. In the assessment of
qualifications, equal attention will be given
to pedagogical and scholarly competence as well
as other relevant qualifications. In the
selection process, special attention will be
given to documented qualifications within the
following areas:
- Scholarly competence in the subject area in
question, demonstrated through research and
development work, and through scholarly
publications;
- Pedagogical competence in the subject area in
question, demonstrated through experience of
planning and implementation of education,
including supervision and examination;
- Participation in the national and
international research community.

also be considered.
