An Associate Professor position at the Faculty of Technical Sciences is a senior position. Here you will find information on how you can continually develop your career and skill set with respect to both research, public sector consultancy, supervision, and education.
The level of qualification for Associate Professors must correspond to that obtained on the basis of a 3-year employment as an Assistant Professor (see this), but may also have been obtained in other ways. It is expected that the candidate has passed the Assistant Professor pedagogical degree or an equivalent pedagogical qualification. Emphasis is placed on experience in supervising students, both in projects and internships, as well as participation in conferences and other academic dissemination. Experience from industry and with research and development projects is important, as is the ability to collaborate with both internal and external partners. It is an advantage if the candidate has experience with project management, networking and possibly fundraising. Publications and other documentation of professional activity count positively. The position is usually a permanent full-time position.
Our criteria for evaluating candidates describe the entry criteria that the Faculty of Technical Sciences uses when assessing candidates for different types of scientific positions:
These criteria can be used both for a dialogue between you and your leader and for a dialogue between a (potential) candidate for a position.
As part of your career development dialogue you must discuss teaching in the broad sense, meaning not only traditional classroom teaching, but many different kinds of dissemination.
The Teaching Portfolio is a tool to support the discussion of teaching in Staff Development Dialogues. It is relevant for all lecturers at Tech but mandatory for permanently employed Assistant Professors, Researchers, Tenure Tracks, Associate Professors, Senior Researchers, Professors and Senior Professor of Engineering.
