The Department of Accounting & Information Management at the School of Business and Economics is looking for a lecturer in Information Management.

Your work includes leading tutorial groups, grading assignments and exams, and guiding skills sessions. Through Maastricht University’s Problem-Based Learning approach, you help students learn actively, think critically, and work effectively together.

We welcome candidates with teaching experience as well as professionals who bring practical expertise in information systems, digital business, or computer science. Your content knowledge will strengthen courses such as Database Management, Business Process Management, Business Intelligence and Data Governance, and Systems Analysis and Design. Knowledge of data modelling, including dimensional modelling and third normal form, and process modelling standards such as BPMN is an advantage.

What you do

• Grade assignments, exams, and other educational deliverables with care and consistency.
• Guide skills training sessions that help students apply theory in practice.
• Teach courses within the Information Management portfolio at bachelor’s and master’s level.
