Teaching assistant - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) is an international and interdisciplinary centre of excellence at Lund University. We advance knowledge on how to catalyse the transition to low-carbon and resource efficient economies across different levels of governance and management. We conduct research across the themes of international and national policy intervention, urban governance and experimentation, business management and practice, and consumption governance.

The MOOCs (massive open online coursers) are a prioritized activity at IIIEE and aims to allow for individuals to engage in lifelong learning and in this way stimulate to a positive societal development. The MOOCs are also increasingly a tool in the ordinary teaching and enhance the pedagogic competence in the digital setting.

IIIEE is now looking for a teaching assistant to support the work with our running coursers as well as in the production of new courses. One current MOOC is now to be both revised to better highlight relevant topics and new knowledge.

Since 2014 the IIIEE has produced six MOOCs and two more [MOU1] are to be launched in 2023. The MOOCs are tracked in terms of impact (visits, learners and certificates etc).
