Appointment as a professor within the faculty of medicine and health at Örebro University – Guidelines for eligibility and assessment criteria

Eligibility

A person who has demonstrated both research and educational expertise shall be qualified for employment as a professor


Assessment criteria

The assessment criteria for appointment as a professor shall be the degree of the expertise required to qualify for employment. As much attention shall be given to the assessment of educational expertise as to the assessment of research or artistic expertise. The assessment of each candidate’s educational and research expertise shall be based on all documents available in the candidate’s file and all assessment criteria shall be observed. A general eligibility requirement for appointment as a professor at Örebro University is that the candidate has completed courses on teaching and learning in higher education or that they have the corresponding competence and skills, and that they have completed courses on research supervision.


Research expertise

The research expertise shall moreover be demonstrated by means of a continuous high level of research output. Great importance shall be attached to candidates being able to show significant external research grants, as well as to their experience of planning and leading research.

Research expertise shall be considered based on the following criteria:


  • is amongst the leading national researchers in their field of research and internationally recognized researchers

  • active and current own research

  • documented experience from supervision at the doctoral level.
    This means that the applicant must have supervised, in the capacity of principal supervisor, at least two research students to the award of the Degree of Doctor (PhD) or equivalent qualifications such as international expertise as a supervisor in a postgraduate program

  • proven ability to secure, in competition with others, considerable external research grants

  • proven ability to plan, initiate, lead and develop research

  • good research development potential


Educational expertise

Educational expertise and qualifications shall be well-documented and accounted for in a teaching portfolio as instructed in Örebro University’s guidelines for teaching portfolios (CF 10-68/2006). In the teaching portfolio, the applicant shall describe their educational qualifications and experience, perspectives on teaching and education, results and achievements as well as development activities.



The educational expertise shall be considered based on the following criteria:


  • completed the required courses on teaching and learning in higher education, or be deemed to have equivalent knowledge

  • completed courses on supervision at the doctoral level.

  • the breadth and scope of different working modes and teaching formats on the first and second cycle, including experience from providing individual supervision at various levels

  • experience from supervision at the research level

  • ability to connect his/her teaching and its content to the research pursued in the subject in question

  • educational development work and/or teaching material/resource contributions shall be viewed an additional qualification

  • documented leadership role within education shall be viewed an additional qualification



In determining whether an applicant possesses the research and educational skills required to qualify for the post, an overall assessment of the criteria shall be made. To qualify, not all criteria need to be met within each field. Failure to meet the criteria in one respect may be balanced out by merits in another so that the applicant, following an overall assessment, is deemed eligible. However, shortcomings in terms of an applicant’s research expertise cannot be balanced out by merits in terms of educational expertise and vice versa.
