We expect the applicant to participate in the further development of the department’s research in computer-human interaction (HCI and CHI-play) related to play, sports and health.

The position includes teaching and supervising student projects in the programs offered, with a focus on both undergraduate and Master programs. The successful applicant will be responsible for one or two of these programs. Accordingly, a strong teaching portfolio in different dance practices, including for example community dance, Laban, creative dance activities and social dance forms, will be valued.

Research activities expand within the fields of humanities and social science research. Movement is at the heart of the unit's work involving experiential, bodily, emotional, cultural and social aspects of movement. Thus, the unit’s research ranges from phenomenological and cultural analyses of movement practices of, i.a., parkour, yoga, community dance and improvisational practices, to analyses of different sub-cultures of physical activity and their organization.

The Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics has a strong background in sports science and movement studies. The successful applicant will be expected to take on the responsibility of being the head of MoCS and to develop and lead research projects for and within the research unit. More specifically, the professor will have specific responsibilities in further strengthening research on movement practices – including different forms of dance practices.
