Background
At the Department of Health Sciences, the Radiography Nursing Program serves both as a professional and research-preparatory program, where a close connection to clinical work and research is crucial. We are now seeking a licensed radiography nurse for a university lecturer position. There has been a long-standing collaboration in education and research between the department and Region Örebro County. This position is intended to ensure that the teaching mission is based on the most current methods and applications in radiography, and to establish alignment between the academic institution and the clinical settings where newly graduated licensed radiography nurses will be working. We are seeking an engaged employee who wants to participate in the development of the radiography nursing program both pedagogically and clinically.
Job Responsibilities
As a university lecturer, you will primarily focus on teaching, both theoretical and laboratory-based, primarily at the undergraduate level, along with related collaboration.
