The positions are full-time, 37 hours per week, with appointment from 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Your tasks

As Study Lecturers you are attached to the Social Worker Education, Aalborg University. The positions include teaching and supervision in social work and social counseling in a broad sense. The focus is on the core competencies of the social worker and social counseling in a social-science, interprofessional, and societal context. In addition, the positions include contributing to coordination of educational and teaching activities. 80% of the time is allocated to teaching, 20% to development tasks.

In addition to teaching, the position also includes participation in the institute's research environment for research in social work.

We expect that you are passionate about research-based education and about creating a link between theory and practice in the development of future competent social workers.
