Eligibility requires a second-cycle qualification or equivalent knowledge, with specific relevance to IMER or related social science/humanities fields such as sociology, political science, cultural geography, anthropology, economics, history, ethnology, religious studies, gender studies, and cultural studies. The doctoral programme is 240 credits over four years full-time, and the position may include up to 20% departmental duties.

Funding: fully funded doctoral employment. Deadline: 2026-08-31. Application: submit via Malmö University’s recruitment system and include CV, diplomas/transcripts, certificates, and a research plan of up to 3000 words.
