Work assignments 

At the Division of Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, undergraduate education, research and postgraduate education are conducted in the areas of fluid dynamics, heat transfer and thermodynamics. Within the basic education, a number of master and bachelor programs as well as international master's programs are taught. The research is mainly conducted in areas such as heat transfer, energy technology, hydraulics, biogas, biofluid dynamics, and aerodynamics with an emphasis on numerical analysis; powerful supercomputing resources are a natural tool. Common to all areas is that the research is generally applied, of a multiphysics nature and takes place in collaboration with industry/business.

As Associate Professor in Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, you teach at first level and advanced level in English and preferably in Swedish. The work includes development, planning and implementation of teaching and examination, including supervision of students within the Faculty of Technology's various programs.

You also conduct research in one or more areas as above and contribute to postgraduate education. The division between teaching and research is determined by the division's teaching needs and available research funds.

You are active in the research community, participate in the division's activities such as seminars and workshops, participate in research projects, communicate results through academic publications and help attract external research funding.

You contribute actively to the university's development work. Collaboration is an integral part of the university's research and educational mission. Cooperation in education takes place by planning, organizing and implementing good cooperation in an educational context. Collaboration in research takes place by disseminating, making available, and making research useful.

The employment may include administrative assignments.

Your work includes monitoring developments nationally and internationally within your field of study and other societal developments that are important to your work.

You are flexible and have the ability to move between different types of pedagogical and scientific contexts. You share knowledge and contribute to the working group’s professional development, collegial ways of working and social community. The fact that you are present and active is something we see as self-evident in order to ensure that you are able to perform your duties in an optimum way and enjoy your working community.
