in the Department’s Bachelor’s degree study programme in translation and
intercultural communication.

The appointee must be able to undertake instruction, examination work and
administration within relevant subject areas in accordance with existing
regulations. The appointee will also be assigned tasks outside of the
faculty/department to which the position is associated in accordance with
his/her work duties and professional expertise, for example within continuing
and further education (EVU).

The appointee must submit documentation demonstrating linguistic breadth in
their research and instructional work. Formal qualifications and experience in

two of the following subject areas: English as a Foreign Language/Second
