The successful candidate must be able to communicate, teach and coach in a Scandinavian language (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish) as well as in English. If the candidate does not have satisfactory oral and written Scandinavian language skills, he or she will be expected to acquire the necessary level of proficiency within a reasonable period of time (two years).
In the assessment of the applicants, emphasis will also be placed on special qualifications, personal suitability and experiences that are important for the performance of the tasks assigned to the position, e.g. professional insight and reflection, cooperation skills, and an ability to take the initiative and to carry out planned projects.
Applicants should enclose an appendix with their application providing a systematic and complete summary of their teaching qualifications in terms of training, courses and/or practical teaching experience. All Associate Professors must have completed a programme for university-level teaching (lasting at least 200 hours) or other relevant courses leading to an equivalent qualification. This qualification combined with the candidate’s own practical teaching experience will have given them basic skills in terms of planning, executing, evaluating and developing teaching and coaching activities at university level. Completion of the programme will not be weighted in the applicant ranking, but applicants who do not meet the criteria at the time of the appointment will be required to satisfy them within two years of being appointed. The academy will provide the necessary training.
The applicants will be assessed by an expert panel. Please note that the greatest weighting will be given to the assessment of the submitted documentation of artistic and pedagogical qualifications. At this stage applicants should only submit their CV and any appendices in the form of certificates, diplomas and a description of their teaching qualifications, all of which should be uploaded to the electronic application portal. After the first evaluation selected candidates will be asked to submit additional information about their artistic qualifications and other documentation they consider relevant. Any documentation in a physical format must be submitted as four copies. Qualified candidates may also be invited for an audition, trial lesson and interview.
Miscellaneous
The position is subject to the prevailing rules for staff at the Norwegian Academy of Music. The full-time position of Associate Professor is eligible for a salary from NOK 563,900 to NOK 626,100. For particularly qualified applicants, a higher salary can be considered. 2 percent is deducted in statutory contributions to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund. The Norwegian Academy of Music has relatively few female Associate Professors. Women are therefore encouraged to apply. A female applicant will be given preference over a male applicant if their qualifications are otherwise identical.
The state workforce should broadly reflect the diversity of the population. It is therefore HR policy to achieve a balanced composition in terms of age and gender and to recruit staff with an immigrant background. People with an immigrant background are therefore encouraged to apply.
Please note that information about the applicants may be made public even if an applicant has asked not to be included in the public list of applicants, cf. the Freedom of Information Act Section 25, second paragraph. The applicants will be notified if their details are to be made public.
