About this position
This postdoctoral position is based at the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, an internationally oriented research environment with active seminar and workshop activity. The department highlights its strength in political science and its broad research profile, including political institutions, elections, public opinion and democracy, international and European politics, environmental politics, corruption, and political ideas.
The appointed postdoctoral researcher will join a research collaboration embedded in the department and connected to the Centre for Environmental Political Studies (CEPS) and the Quality of Government (QoG) Institute. The position is designed to support early-career research independence while also offering close integration into an established scholarly environment. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to contribute primarily through research and to take an active role in developing studies within the project’s overall framework.
The environment offers opportunities for intellectual development, collaboration, supervision, international cooperation, conference participation, methodological development, and ambitious new data collection. The postholder is expected to help produce high-quality research and contribute to publications in leading international journals.
The position is in political science and is positioned within a department that combines teaching and research across Swedish and English-language programmes, with a large academic community and strong international engagement.
