Assistant Professor with a strong profile in sustainability and project design

We are looking for a colleague who can join our team of skilled instructors in the Building Constructor education program. You should have a construction-related background and be keen to teach, guide and participate in research and development projects.

Your tasks

You are, as a person, broadly professionally grounded and able to take on teaching and development tasks within one or more of the following topics:

• Sustainability (both with a holistic perspective and within the technical part)
• Legislation (both general construction law and rules within sustainability)
• Projections/design for both new build and renovation (it is expected that you can design in Revit or similar software)

In addition to teaching, you will also act as supervisor on the program's study-, internship- and examination projects. Development and research projects are also a part of our everyday life. You should therefore be prepared that part of your working time will be spent participating in project work.

Your professional profile

We expect that you have a relevant professional education, for example as a building constructor, building engineer or architect. You may also have a minimum of 5 years experience within different types of construction.

You have experience with designing different types of projects and are not afraid to adapt and learn new things. It is a plus if you also have knowledge of MS Project, Tactplan or Sigma. However, the most important is that you are able to learn new programs.

You are used to working project-oriented and you see the whole rather than parts. You are good at creating and maintaining professional relationships and you are passionate about creating the builders of the future.

If you have teaching experience and a pedagogical education, this would be an advantage, but it is no prerequisite to become part of the teaching team in the Building Constructor program.

As a person you are

Good at building close relations with both students and colleagues. You are engaged, curious, initiative-driven and open.

Your ambitions to create optimal learning pathways mean that you participate and take initiatives for pedagogical and professional renewal. The world changes and so do we. Therefore, it is a natural part of your work to develop yourself for the benefit of the students, and to inspire your colleagues and the local business community.

You are a team player and are prepared to collaborate with colleagues, students, industry, research and other stakeholders in our programs.

We therefore expect that you are

• Outgoing, curious and have a good sense of humor
• Team player – who gives and receives from the team
• Research- and development-oriented and will help create new knowledge and solutions for the industry

In the job you will focus on teaching and learning, where you will be part of an experimental study environment with students and colleagues.

As we work closely with industry, you should also be willing to help create partnerships with companies and other stakeholders in the sector.

We offer

At UCL you have the opportunity to leave a clear mark on the future building sector by educating and inspiring the next generation of building constructors. At the same time you become part of a professional environment with great freedom to influence both teaching, projects and collaborations. The position offers good opportunities to engage in research and development activities, where new knowledge is turned into value for the education and the industry.

With us we emphasize a good balance between work life and private life, while still having time to pursue your professional passion. As a teacher in the program you also get real influence on the development of the program content, pedagogy and professional direction in close collaboration with colleagues, students and the business community .

The Building Constructor program is organized in the Department of Construction and Technology, where we are 53 staff spread across 11 technical/science programs. We emphasize being good colleagues in a work environment with room to grow and a focus on high professionalism in our task solving.

You will be employed in an adjunct position. This means that you must achieve lecturer qualification within the first 4 years of your employment. This process includes tasks within full-time education, research and development as well as continuing education.

If you have a bachelor’s level, you must complete a relevant master’s degree before starting the adjunkt program. This means that in the first 2 years of your employment you complete your master’s degree. Thereafter you transition to a 4-year adjunkt program.

Employment

You will be employed from 1 February 2027 and your average weekly working time will be 37 hours per week.

Your primary place of employment will be in Odense. Since we have study trips, conferences and other relevant activities, travel of 5-15 days per year is expected.

The appointment is made in accordance with the circular on the collective agreement for Academics in the state or Circular on Common Agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Teachers’ Central Organization and CO10 – Central Organization of 2010 (LC/CO10 common agreement), and the regulations on the job structure for teachers at university colleges, professional bachelor’s colleges and the Danish School of Media and Journalism. The position is covered by the principles of New Pay.

If you are hired as an adjunct, you will join a lecturer qualification program, cf. the Regulation on lecturer qualification, lecturer assessment and docent assessment of teachers at university colleges, professional bachelor’s colleges, The Danish School of Media and Journalism and certain maritime educational institutions. An adjunct program is a maximum of 4 years.

If you are hired as a lecturer, we would like you to be lecturer-qualified according to the job structure from 2013.

If you are lecturer-qualified under previous job structures, you may, by agreement, choose that the employment takes place under the previously centrally fixed salary and employment terms according to the job structure from 2003, which among other things can affect the size of your lecturer allowance and the possibility of being appointed as a member of the lecturer assessment committee.

Alternatively you can agree on a renewed lecturer assessment under the current job structure and according to the rules in chapter 5 of the Regulation on lecturer qualification, lecturer assessment and docent assessment of teachers at university colleges, professional bachelor’s colleges, The Danish School of Media and Journalism and certain maritime educational institutions. The assessment is based on a short 8-page lecturer application regarding competencies in research and development.

The application must be submitted to UCL in connection with the recruitment process. The assessment is decided within 3-6 weeks by an external assessment committee appointed by UCL. In case of a negative assessment, the employment can take place under the previous job structure or as an adjunct.

UCL offers guidance in connection with the preparation of the application.
