About this position
Södertörn University in Stockholm, Sweden, invites applications for a doctoral studentship in Political Science, to be conducted within the Sociology of Authoritarian Law in Eurasia (SOCIAL) MSCA Doctoral Networks research project. The university is a dynamic institution with a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research and education, particularly in the humanities, social sciences, technology, and natural sciences. The SOCIAL doctoral network aims to train 17 doctoral candidates in the sociology of authoritarian law, focusing on Central Asia.
The project’s three main goals are: advancing empirical and theoretical understanding of law–society–governance dynamics under authoritarian regimes; providing sustainable, interdisciplinary doctoral training across disciplines and regions; and promoting policy outreach by translating research findings into actionable intelligence through workshops, publications, and policy briefs. The university’s research has a notable emphasis on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, and the environment is characterized by a collaborative, world-minded, and innovative approach. The position is open to candidates with a strong academic background in political science, sociology, law, or related fields, and a keen interest in the intersection of law, society, and governance under authoritarianism. The doctoral studentship offers the opportunity to be part of a vibrant international research network and to contribute to cutting-edge research with real-world policy implications.
For more information about the position, application procedures, and requirements, candidates are encouraged to visit the official Södertörn University vacancy page or contact the listed professors and officers. The application deadline is January 31, 2026.
