Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' role
Gender studies at Örebro University is oriented towards social science studies and the department is a dynamic research environment marked by its strong international ties. The subject heads up the multi- and transdisciplinary research environment Centre for Feminist Social Studies. Grounded in feminist and political theory, the research at the department is currently examining, among other things, men and masculinities, sexuality, knowledge production, work and social movements, and social change.
The doctoral student we are seeking will conduct research clearly drawing on feminist theory and we especially welcome theory-developing thesis project proposals.

The programme and the doctoral studentship
The doctoral programme consists of courses and an independent research project that you will present in a doctoral thesis. The programme concludes with a doctoral degree and comprises 240 credits, which corresponds to four years of full-time study.
Our ambition is for your doctoral studies to be stimulating and purposeful throughout the programme until you have obtained your doctoral degree. A thorough introduction will therefore get you off to a good start and provide a solid foundation on which you can build your studies. As a doctoral student at Örebro University, you will be offered a specially tailored seminar series, covering matters ranging from doctoral programme rules and careers to student welfare support and networking.
