About this position

University West is recruiting a doctoral student for a Kamprad-funded project in the research group NormAIL at the Department of Health Sciences.

The project sits at the intersection of work-integrated learning (AIL), caring science and virtual reality (VR). It focuses on how digital learning environments can support competence development among staff working in municipal elderly care, especially in relation to palliative care for people with dementia. A central part of the research is the use of VR combined with an avatar to support learning and to help staff handle complex care situations in everyday practice.

The doctoral student will work on questions such as how immersive digital tools can be integrated into workplace learning, how experience from care practice can be captured and used, and how learning in palliative care may influence the care and support given to people with dementia in municipal services. The project is designed to generate knowledge with strong societal relevance and to contribute to future educational initiatives in municipal health and social care.

The research environment is anchored in the AIL subject area and the health sciences context at University West, with a clear focus on how new technology can be used for professional development in care settings.

Funding details

Kamprad-funded project.
