About hiring process

Normal procedure

  • Registration of application
  • An expert committee is appointed. The committee carries out the professional/academic evaluation of the applications, and delivers an evaluation report to the HiØ. This process may take approximately 4 to 8 weeks.
  • Based on the evaluation report the faculty assesses applicants further through interviews, trail lectures and reference checks. Finally, they will propose a shortlist with ranking of applicants by number.
  • The appointing authority processes and approves the recommendation from the faculty.
  • A letter of appointment is sent to the highest ranked applicant. Should the applicant decline the job offer, it will go to the next applicant on the list.
  • All applicants are informed about who is appointed and that the hiring process has ended.

Interview

Relevant candidates will be called for an interview. You can also be expected to give a trial lecture, present a case or do an assessment test.

Travel and accommodation

We will reimburse your travel expenses and accommodation costs by the rules of the State travel allowance scale. We recommend you to use public transport as far as possible.  Due to limited access of public transport to HiOF, we allow taxi transport from the train station.

We cover standard hotel room inclusive breakfast. We do not cover travel insurance and other meals.

Your expenses will be refunded about two weeks after the travel documentation from your visit are received.

  • Your full name and address
  • Norwegian identity number. If you do not have a Norwegian identity number, please send us a good quality print of your passport.
  • Scanned copies of your receipts
  • Bank account information (name, account number, SWIFT- and IBAN-number)

How to get here

From Oslo Airport

From Oslo Airport, you can take the airport express train (flytoget) or the regular VY train lines (R10/L12) to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S). You can also take the airport express coach (Flybussen) from Oslo Airport to the centre of Oslo, which stops just by Oslo S.

Another option for those going to Fredrikstad from Oslo Airport is to take the express bus (Nor-Way) directly from Oslo Airport to Fredrikstad. This is usually the best and quickest way to get to Fredrikstad from the airport.

From Oslo S to Halden or Fredrikstad

From Oslo S, you can take the VY train to Fredrikstad/Halden (R20). The train leaves from platforms 17–19. You can also take the express bus (Nettbuss) to Fredrikstad, which leaves from Galleri Oslo.

From Halden Station to Campus Halden

Campus Halden is located outside the city centre. You can take a bus directly from the bus station to Remmen (R2 or 100). If you arrive at Halden train station at 07:45 or 08:45 on a weekday, you can take a free shuttle bus from the station to Remmen. You can also take a taxi.

From Fredrikstad Station to Campus Fredrikstad

Campus Fredrikstad is located on campus and a 20 minute walk from Fredrikstad train station. You can reduce the amount of walking by taking a bus (301 or 302) to Farmannsgate and then crossing the bridge over the river to the campus.
