Job Posting: Kungl Konsthögskolan (KKH), Sweden

The Royal Institute of Art (also known as the Royal University College of Fine Arts) in Stockholm is hiring its first Studentombudsman. The part-time position will serve a student body of about 230. In addition to start up activities, the position is expected to serve as an alternate member of the Working Environment Council and the Equal Opportunities Council and work closely with the KKH Student Union.

Applicants must have relevant experience, preferably in higher education and/or the art field. Applicants must be fluent in Swedish and English. The position is 20-40% time for an initial period of one year, which may be extended. No salary indicated. The posting, which appeared a few days ago on several sites, indicates an application deadline of March 15, 2017, so this seems to be a typo. (KKH Posting.)

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
