Teacher in mathematics or mathematical statistics

For the academic year 2023/24 we are looking for up to seven people to our guest teacher program. We especially turn to you with plans for a continued academic career in mathematics or mathematical statistics and need teaching experience. As a member of our guest teacher program, you have pedagogical and practical support in your teaching of a mentor and have the opportunity to take courses in teaching and learning in higher education. You will also be part of the strong research environment that is available at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers.

Information about the division/the project
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg has about 200 employees, and is the largest department of mathematics in Sweden. The department has three scientific divisions: Algebra and Geometry, Analysis and Probability Theory, and Applied Mathematics and Statistics and conducts successful research in pure and applied mathematics and mathematical statistics in a wide range of research areas. We have an international environment with frequent exchanges with other universities around the world. The department provides a friendly, creative, and supportive atmosphere with a steady flow of international guests. There are many committed teachers with extensive and broad experience of all aspects of higher education. 
Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all our activities. We work actively to be a parent-friendly organization.

Job description
The duties consist of teaching in either mathematics or in mathematical statistics. The teaching will include course responsibility and will primarily be at bachelor level.

Course responsibility includes planning and conducting teaching, to do the examination, to be responsible for information and communication in connection with it, and to be responsible for the teaching assistants in the course.

Teaching at bachelor level is in Swedish, so it is a requirement to be able to teach in Swedish.

Contract terms
Temporary full-time employment.

Qualifications
We expect that you have a PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics or mathematical statistics or equivalent scientific qualifications relevant to the subject area and the assignments. For example, a PhD in Didactics of mathematics together with a solid background in mathematics would count as equivalent scientific qualification. 

Previous experience in course responsibility for university courses in mathematics or mathematical statistics is highly meritorious.

Training in teaching and learning in higher education is a merit.
