About this position

The Environmental Change division (tema Miljöförändring) at the Department of Thematic Studies at Linköping University is recruiting a two-year postdoctoral researcher to work on democratic innovations and climate transformation.

The postdoc will join the Formas-funded project Democratic Innovations for Climate Transformation (2027–2029), which brings together research on climate citizens’ assemblies and related deliberative processes. The project is designed as a systematic, interdisciplinary knowledge synthesis on how these democratic formats may contribute to system transformation, with a particular focus on their political impact, their role in broader systemic change, and what they mean for Swedish climate governance.

The role is research-intensive and includes leading the systematic literature review across academic databases and grey literature, following established standards for searching, screening, and quality assessment. The postdoctoral researcher will also play a central role in comparative synthesis across studies and in identifying evidence gaps around how deliberative processes connect to system-level transformation.

In addition to the review work, the postdoc will help design and facilitate stakeholder dialogues with Swedish municipalities and practitioners so that the project’s findings are useful for policy and practice. The successful candidate will work closely with the project’s principal investigator and a wider research team based at LiU and the Stockholm Resilience Centre, with scope to help shape methodological choices and analytical framing and to co-author outputs from the project.

The position is based in an interdisciplinary research environment where environmental change, democratic governance, and societal transformation are brought together in a collaborative setting.

Funding details

Two-year full-time postdoctoral appointment within a Formas-funded research project; salary set individually according to collective agreements.

Experience with systematic literature reviews and qualitative content analysis is a merit, as is prior stakeholder involvement and co-production through workshops or similar formats. Strong written and spoken English is required.
