Tasks
As a teaching assistant, your tasks may vary, but you must study at the faculty where the work is to be carried out, and the tasks should provide insight into the academic world.
Together with a colleague, you will work on compiling how cities collaborate with private actors in climate work – companies and the financial sector – in order to increase climate investments. The task is based on selected European cities and the work is carried out in close collaboration with Lund Municipality's project office for climate collaboration.

The work is based on literature and online interviews and has relatively great freedom in exactly when it is carried out. The teaching assistants participate in project meetings and other project activities in Lund.
You will work 20-30% of the time over the period June 2025-February 2026.

Tasks for this position include:

  • Collecting information via literature and interviews
  • Analysis and testing of findings
  • Presentation of conclusions
  • Writing reports

This is carried out in collaboration with the CoGovernance project team.

 

Qualifications
Eligible to be employed as a teaching assistant is someone who actively pursues studies at advanced level at the relevant faculty and who has not yet graduated.

Requirements for the position are that you:

  • Are enrolled in a program at the IIIEE throughout the project period
  • Have very good knowledge of English, both spoken and written

 

Other qualifications

  • Have knowledge/experience in the implementation and financing of climate work in cities
  • Have understanding of cities' infrastructure systems
  • Can work in other project-relevant European languages
  • Have experience in managing projects and working independently
  • Have the ability to collaborate in a larger project team
  • Have the ability to work interdisciplinarily

We put focus on personal suitability. Consideration will be given to good co-operation, drive and independence, as well as how the applicant, through his or her experience and competence, is judged to complement and strengthen the work within the department.

 

Other
The position is limited to the period June 1, 2025 - February 28, 2026 and covers 20-30% of full-time. Working hours will be predominantly flexible to adapt to studies, but there will be a few project meetings.
The position should not negatively affect the teaching assistant's studies and should not be combined with other employment. Regulations regarding educational employment as a teaching assistant are found in the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 2017:284), Chapter 5, Sections 8-12.
The position is covered by the flexitime agreement.
