About this position
Göteborgs universitet is recruiting for a co-supervised doctoral position within the CUL doctoral school, a nationally unique and large doctoral school developed in collaboration across the Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, Educational Sciences, and the Faculty of Science and Technology. The opening is designed for applicants with a teaching degree who are connected to an employer willing to support doctoral studies.
The position is part of CULF, a collaboration framework that also includes the government assignment ULF, which supports research built on cooperation between academia and school practice. The broader aim is to strengthen research-based schooling, school and teaching development, and systematic quality work, while also supporting professional development for teachers working toward advanced academic roles.
Successful candidates will be admitted to doctoral education in one of several possible subject areas linked to educational science and school-relevant research. The advertised subject areas include child and youth studies, aesthetic expression in educational science, humanities with an educational science focus, sports science, information technology and learning, food and nutrition science, mathematics with an educational science focus, natural science with an educational science focus, pedagogical work, social science with an educational science focus, and subject didactics with specializations.
The doctoral student will be placed at a department belonging to one of the participating faculties. The announcement emphasizes a research environment where practice-oriented research is integrated with work in schools and preschools, supporting the development of a school system grounded in science and research.
The education normally leads to a doctoral degree and is conducted in close collaboration with the applicant’s professional context, making it especially relevant for teachers who want to combine academic training with continued engagement in educational practice.
