About the postion

The Institute of Design wishes to strengthen its professional staff through this new position by building and further developing Service Design particularly in the public sector. This is a prioritized and strategic subject area for the Institute.

We emphasise working closely with industry and the public sector to provide the highest level of professional competence through research both for our students and as a means of participating in professional development.

AHO was one of the first design schools in the Nordic countries to develop courses and research activities in Service Design and currently has a strong position both in Norway and internationally. Service Design is one of the main domains of teaching, research and collaboration with industry at the Institute of Design (IDE) at AHO. We currently run a 5-year programme leading to a Master's of Design. Service Design is a part of the curriculum across this 5-year programme. Through the Doctoral School at AHO and the Centre for Design Research at IDE we also offer PhD level research education and support; this is often connected to large funded research projects both with the private and public sector. 

We are currently looking for a highly motivated person to fill a position in Service Design. The applicant will need to meet high international standards at all levels with a clear foundation in Service Design suited to a higher education school specializing in design.
