The department conducts education and research within three different subject areas; Economic History, Human Geography, and Innovation Entrepreneurship and Management of Intellectual Assets. The different subjects within the department create possibilities to carry out interdisciplinary education and research.
The Unit of Economic History conducts research in relation to economic development from a long-term perspective.

Another important area of research is business history.

Several of the courses are also part of a new 3-year Bachelor Program in Economic History and Human Geography.

Job assignments
The tasks include teaching at basic and advanced levels in economic history. One of the lecturers will especially teach quantitative methods. Other teachings in economic history will also be included in the tasks. The second lecturer will teach economic history more generally, both within the framework of a new programme and on our independent courses. The position as senior lecturer also includes course responsibility, examination, and course development. The position(s) further includes administrative work. The employee/employees are supposed to be actively involved in the day-to-day activities of the department.
Teaching is given in both Swedish and English, and as teaching in the new programme is given in Swedish, excellent knowledge of Swedish is a requirement. The department considers it highly beneficial that the person(s) employed will seek external funding for research in addition to teaching.
