As an employee at Umeå University, you're offered a wide variety of benefits that promote a good work-life balance, including:
The intellectual property rights of academic staff provide researchers and teachers at Swedish institutions of higher education with the right to the research output they produce at work. That gives you a unique opportunity to apply for patents for your results to sell the knowledge on, or to move forward as an entrepreneur yourself.
Your development is important to us. That's why Umeå University allows teachers to spend a certain percentage of their annual working hours on professional development. It's also important to us that you have the chance to successfully combine education and instruction with research.
For questions about the collective agreement and benefits of working at Umeå University, please contact the person specified on the job advertisement.
