The Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a position as Associate Professor in Digital Learning and Education. The position is to be filled by 1 June 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, subject to negotiation.

It is a high priority at the Department of Computer Science to foster a research environment of highest excellence allowing people from diverse backgrounds to thrive. The researcher will join a rapidly growing department, with strong research sections in the areas of Algorithms, Complexity, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, Image and Medical Image Analysis, Bioinformatics, Human-Centered Computing, Software Engineering and Data Management, Programming Languages, Artificial Intelligence and other areas of computer science.

The Department of Computer Science offers a friendly and thriving international research and working environment with opportunities to build up internationally competitive research groups. There are good opportunities available to apply for research funding in order to establish oneself in Denmark. The Department of Computer Science has an experienced research support unit that offers mentoring and assistance when applying for funding.

Description of the position
We are looking for an outstanding, experienced researcher with an innovative mindset and intellectual curiosity to strengthen and complement the department's research profile within Digital Learning and Education. We look for candidates with specialized knowledge about learning analytics for higher and secondary education, digital education, and digital transformation of educational institutions. Additional research areas include but are not limited to theoretical and technological aspects of learning analytics; quantitative and qualitative research methods; practical applications such as dashboards and feedback systems; institutional analytics, human factors, and concerns in relation to fairness or ethics. Candidates are expected to publish in premier venues within technology-enhanced learning.

The position is affiliated with the Center for Digital Education which is a joint effort between Department of Science Education and Department of Computer Science, which aims at connecting experts from computer science and science education to explore the possibilities and consequences of the digitalization of STEM education across the school system. The Associate Professor will be employed at the Department of Computer Science but some obligations related to the position may be shared among the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Science Education.

Duties include the applicant's own research, development of the field, assessment tasks, grant applications, and research management such as supervision and training of research fellows and other staff. The successful applicant must also teach, supervise, prepare and participate in examinations, and fulfill other tasks requested by the Department.

Applicants are required to have university level teaching experience, documented teaching competencies and must be able to explain and reflect upon own teaching practice and portfolio. Formal pedagogical training or supervision equivalent to the University of Copenhagen teacher training programme for assistant professors is required.

Assessment of applicants will primarily consider their level of documented, original scientific production at an international level, including contributions to developments in their field, as well as their documented teaching qualifications. Managerial and outreach qualifications of applicants including ability to attract external funding will also be considered.

Associate Professor on the promotion programme

To be employed as an associate professor on the promotion programme, the candidate must both qualify to work as an associate professor now and demonstrate the potential to transition into a position as a professor at the end of the programme.

Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
