Nature of duties: General responsibility for research and research education (PhD level) within the field of Human-Computer Interaction and responsibility for developing this field. Teaching and tutoring at all levels. Own research. Supplying information about research and development in the research field. Planning and leading (including applying for research grants) research projects.
Active participation in the institution's efforts to integrate research within human-computer interaction, computer- and systems sciences and media and communication with focus on the challenges within the society of digital networks. Administrative assignments and management functions may be relevant.
Qualifications required: The eligibility criteria for employment as professor are scientific as well as pedagogic skills. According to the employment policy of Uppsala University, it is also a general requirement that teachers have any other skills which are necessary to carry out their duties proficiently. According to the employment policy, the scientific skills should be demonstrated through independent research that significantly exceeds the qualifications required for the Swedish "docent" title. Planning and managing research projects are of importance.
The applicant must have the teaching skills required for the position and in addition, unless there are special reasons, must have formal pedagogical training relevant for the tasks associated with this position. The assessment of teaching skills will consider planning, carrying out and evaluation of teaching as well as supervising activities and examination.
The ability to teach in Swedish and English is a requirement. A holder that is only sufficiently proficient in one of these languages at the time of appointment is expected to be able to teach in the other within two years.
Assessment: Assessment for the appointment of the professor shall be based on the degree of the skill required for the appointment.
For this position, the ranking will be based primarily on the scientific and teaching competence of the applicants, with special emphasis on scientific proficiency. This order of priorities in the application of the different ranking criteria is not absolute. A combined consideration of all grounds of assessment could result, for instance, in an applicant vastly superior regarding pedagogical proficiency being ranked higher than a candidate with superior scientific qualifications who is considered less qualified pedagogically.
Equal importance is given to the assessment of teaching skills and scientific skills.
When assessing the pedagogical proficiency, skills and experience in the planning, execution and evaluation of teaching, as well as supervising activities and examination will be considered.
Administrative skills are important in filling this position and will be given a large weight, the same goes for other merits of importance to the position. Attention will also be given to applicants' ability to: co-operate, develop and supervise activities and staff, interact with the surrounding community and to inform the public about research and developmental work.
Uppsala University will in this recruitment firstly consider the applicant that in the overall assessment of competence and skill is judged to have the best qualifications to carry out and develop the tasks within the position and contribute to a positive development of the department.
Uppsala University is striving to attain a more balanced gender distribution among its teachers. Since most full professors in the Faculty are men, women are especially invited to apply for this position.
Personal circumstances (such as parental leave) that may benefit the applicants in the assessment of qualifications should be included in the list of qualifications and experience (Curriculum Vitae).
How to apply: A complete application written in english shall be submitted in three copies on paper and include:
- A list of scientific and educational qualifications (Curriculum Vitae) verified with witnessed copies of certificates and other documents referred to. The documentation of the teaching experience should include certificates, course evaluations and qualitative opinions by the director of studies e.g.

By the summary it should be evident which research activities and results and which other activities that, according to the applicant would firstly be considered in the appointment. As a basis for the statement over teaching experience "Uppsala University's general employment regulations" and "Guidelines of employment of teachers" should be used (see links below).
o A short "policy statement" of what the applicant intend to do to develop the research within the discipline at the Department of Informatics and Media.
