Welcome to the term’s last K3 seminar. It will deal specifically with the writing of applications for the appointment as an associate professor (docent) at Malmö University. But it will also be of relevance for the writing of applications for promotions to senior lecturer or professor. The title of the seminar is:

Becoming a Docent (or Trying to): A Seminar to Unravel the Technicalities and Various Dilemmas of Writing a Docent/Associate Professor Application in Design (or Another K3 Field).

The seminar is organized by Anna Seravalli, senior lecturer in product design, K3. At the seminar, Anders Hög Hansen, K3 member of the Academic Appointments Board (Lärarförslagsnämnden), and Rebecca Nordh, HR specialist and also member of the Academic Appointments Board, will talk about the work carried out by the board. Anna Seravalli, Kristina Lindström, Margareta Melin and Åsa Harvard will talk about their experiences of working on writing applications. There will also be time for questions and discussions.

Before the seminar, please have a look at the MaU webpage “Careers at the University”, which gives information on how to apply for appointment to docent, and how to apply for promotion to senior lecturer or professor (https://staff.mau.se/your-employment/karriar-inom-universitetet/).
