Call for a visiting lecturer in tourism business for autumn 2019

The contract offered covers a period of app. 3 months from late Au-gust or early September 2019 onwards. Duration and number of hours is negotiable in order to find a solution that serves both parties.

With the aim of promoting internationalization, specialization and quality of teaching, as well as the research conducted by the tourism research group, SAMK is recruiting a visiting lecturer in tourism, from the teaching or research staff of universities of applied sciences, preferably of foreign origin.

In autumn 2019, our focus will be in tourism product development, use of natural resources and coastal and maritime tourism. Emerging topics include destination marketing and management. Candidates with experience in Erasmus funding instruments and applications as well as joint research and publication interests will be the top priority.
