About this position

Linnaeus University is seeking a doctoral student in legal science for a project linked to civil preparedness and competition-related questions in the context of Sweden’s strengthened total defence. The project focuses on how society can secure the supply of goods, services and construction works during crises, heightened preparedness and war, while ensuring that cooperation between public and private actors remains compatible with procurement rules and EU state aid law.

The doctoral student will be based at the Department of Legal Science in Kalmar, within the Faculty of Social Sciences. The department is described as a newly established research environment, and doctoral students are expected to play an active role in building that environment while participating in national and international research activities. The post is located in Kalmar, and travel between Kalmar and Växjö may occur because the university operates in both locations.

The advertisement invites the successful candidate to develop a research project within the overall theme of effective civil preparedness from a broader competition perspective. This means the doctoral work should engage with legal and regulatory questions surrounding public procurement, state aid, and collaboration models between public authorities and market actors in preparedness and crisis contexts. The project is partly funded by the Swedish Competition Authority, indicating a strong policy and regulatory relevance.

The doctoral education in legal science at Linnaeus University comprises 240 higher education credits and normally corresponds to four years of full-time study. As part of the doctoral programme, the student will complete courses in agreement with supervisors, take part in conferences and courses nationally and internationally, and defend a doctoral thesis in a public dissertation.

The university emphasises a high level of presence at the workplace and an active contribution to the research milieu. The post is an employment as a doctoral student, with the primary task being the candidate’s own research training, while limited teaching or administrative duties may be included according to applicable rules.

The full application instructions and the university’s complete advert are available via the links provided in the posting.

Funding details

The project is partially funded by the Swedish Competition Authority (Konkurrensverket).

What's required

Applicants must meet both general and specific eligibility requirements for doctoral education. Specific eligibility for doctoral studies in legal science requires a law degree (juristexamen), kandidaatexamen in law, a master’s degree in legal science, or a master’s degree with at least 15 higher education credits of independent work in legal science, together with the necessary language skills required by the programme. Equivalent competence gained through other education or professional experience may also be accepted. The selection also considers the applicant’s ability to benefit from doctoral studies, the research plan, scientific merits, breadth and composition of previous degrees, cooperation skills, and personal suitability.

How to apply

Submit the application with a short personal motivation, CV, certified copies of grades, contact details for two referees, a copy of your master’s thesis and any publications, and a preliminary research plan of 3–5 pages. Apply via the specified application link and follow the full instructions on Linnaeus University’s job page.
