Sr. Lecturer, electrical & automation engineering
As Senior Lecturer in Electrical and Automation Engineering, you will primarily contribute to the degree programme in electrical and automation engineering and to related applied research and development projects. The programme provides a broad foundation in the core areas of the discipline, while offering students the opportunity to specialize in electrical energy systems and advanced automation systems. The Turku region is home to a significant number of companies in the maritime industry cluster, which provides an important application context for electrical and automation engineering. Most of our teaching currently relates to Bachelor-level education, with the potential for involvement in Master-level programmes in the future. Research activities in this domain at Turku UAS have particularly focused on DC power systems and their control and management, offering a solid framework for project-based work and collaboration with industrial partners. The position is versatile and may emphasize teaching, applied research, or a balanced combination of both, depending on the selected candidates expertise and interests. It also provides opportunities to initiate and develop new areas of applied research, complementing and extending current activities.
