About this position

This postdoctoral appointment is based at the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, an international academic environment with a strong research profile in political institutions, elections, public opinion, democracy, international and European politics, environmental politics, corruption, and political ideas.

The postdoctoral researcher will play a central role in the development of OCCPOL’s comparative data infrastructure, a shared empirical resource used by the project team for individual and collaborative research. The work combines independent scholarship with close collaboration in a project group, giving substantial room to shape a personal research direction within the project’s framework.

The research tasks are hands-on and methodological as well as substantive. They include collecting, processing, harmonising, validating, and documenting occupational data from four project countries. The role may involve developing coding protocols and reproducible workflows, identifying and evaluating historical and contemporary data sources, building computational methods for classifying occupational tasks, studying how occupational classifications change over time, and establishing quality-assurance routines.

The position is embedded in a lively research setting with frequent seminars and workshops across the department’s research areas. The department offers education at all levels in both Swedish and English and describes itself as one of Sweden’s leading political science environments, with a broad international profile and a large student and staff community.
