About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in the Department of Police Sciences at Södertörn University in Stockholm, within a research and teaching environment focused on police science, criminology, and related social science perspectives. The university highlights its broader research profile in areas of major relevance to the Baltic Sea and Eastern Europe region, and the department works closely with police-competent teachers seconded from the Swedish Police Authority as well as researchers from other parts of the university.
The appointment is linked to SEMUN (Strategic Enforcement for Undermining Criminal Networks), an EU-funded project grounded in problem-oriented policing. The project aims to implement this working model and assess both the implementation process and the effects of POP-based interventions. In close cooperation with the Swedish Police Authority, the project supports local police areas in identifying and analysing concrete problem patterns, developing targeted actions, and following up results systematically.
The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the project team under the leadership of Tony Mickelsson Blomqvist and collaborate with external partners. The role centers on independent research within SEMUN, including evaluation and impact evaluation, building and maintaining a public research database or data source connected to one of the subprojects, proposing interventions and research designs, publishing internationally, and presenting at conferences. A limited share of teaching and other academic duties may also be included, alongside seminar, workshop, or conference organisation.
The environment is strongly applied and collaborative, combining academic research with policing practice and external cooperation. The position is explicitly connected to research on how problem-oriented policing can be translated into practice and used to make criminal networks more difficult to sustain.
