About this position
Stockholm University is advertising a PhD student position in Environmental Science at the Department of Environmental Science, specifically within the Unit for Exposure and Effects in Stockholm, Sweden.
The project is titled “Exposing and Overcoming Corruption in EU Chemical Regulation: An Interdisciplinary Approach” and is funded by FORMAS, the Swedish government research council for sustainable development. The research combines environmental science, chemistry, toxicology, law, risk assessment, statistics, and interdisciplinary research to study corrupt practices in EU chemical regulation, GLP violations, reporting bias, and enforcement strategies.
The project uses a unique empirical core of 56 industry-funded developmental neurotoxicity studies of pesticides and will compare EU and US study inventories, analyze regulatory violations, and develop tools for regulators and scientists. The work is intended to support stronger chemical regulation, public health protection, and environmental protection.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must meet general doctoral admission requirements and specific Environmental Science requirements, including substantial second-cycle credits in a natural science and a thesis project. The selection process also values English proficiency, experience in law or criminology, public administration or enforcement, interdisciplinary work, statistics, and chemical regulation.
Funding: this is a fixed-term doctoral employment with a fixed salary for up to four years full-time.
Deadline: 23 August 2026. Apply via Stockholm University’s recruitment system and include a personal letter, CV, and requested attachments.
