About this position
Doctoral position in Psychology at Linnaeus University
This doctoral opening is based at the Department of Psychology within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at Linnaeus University. The department offers education and research across undergraduate, advanced, and doctoral levels, and the faculty brings together work in health, care, and natural sciences in a multidisciplinary academic environment.
The doctoral student will be embedded in a research project focused on decision-making and treatment/care encounters in healthcare. The project addresses important questions about discrimination, equitable care, and patients’ opportunities to influence healthcare decisions. The work is described as being carried out primarily using quantitative research methods, making it suitable for a student interested in applied psychological research with clear societal relevance.
Linnaeus University notes that doctoral education in psychology can include several orientations, including health psychology, clinical psychology, biological psychology, the psychology of reading, metapsychology, social psychology, and work and organizational psychology. The announced position is linked to this wider doctoral research environment and is intended to lead to a doctorate through supervised research and coursework totaling 240 credits.
The position is full-time and located in Växjö, with occasional travel between Växjö and Kalmar possible. The posting also states that the appointment is temporary under Swedish higher education regulations and has a target of the doctoral degree.
