For employment as a doctoral student the holder of the position must be admitted or in the process of being admitted to research-level education, where the capacity to benefit from the research-level education is crucial. Regulations for doctoral students are found in the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 5, Sections 1-7. Salary placement is in accordance with local guidelines at Uppsala University.

Uppsala University strives to promote gender equality through more even gender distribution. The majority of employees in this category at the Department of Public Health and Caring Science and at the Department of Psychology are women, so the University encourages men to apply for the positions at these departments. At the Department of Informatics and Media, on the other hand, the majority of employees in this category are men, so the University encourages women to apply for the positions at this department.

Duties: Holders of doctoral studentships are to devote themselves primarily to their own research-level education. Other duties at the respective department regarding teaching and administrative work can be included within the framework of the position (max 20%).

Applications must be written in English and include a CV, copies of diplomas and grade transcripts, and any previous publications (such as C- or D-level theses or drafts of such theses).

Further, append a research plan or a draft of such a plan relevant to U-CARE’s overarching objective and of an interdisciplinary character, of about 5 A4 pages in English. Also, enclose information about individual references and recommendation letters.

Selection among applicants is based on the following criteria: fulfilment of eligibility requirements, previous experience of work/research in closely related areas, and personal suitability. Selection is done at the respective departments. The accompanying research plan will be given great emphasis in this assessment.

Other favourable qualifications: Independence, initiative, and the capacity to collaborate with others are important personal characteristics.
