Project description
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 multidisciplinary research environment Centre for Feminist Social Studies. Grounded in feminist and political theory, the research at the department is examining, among other things, feminist theory and knowledge production, love and sexuality, feminist violence studies, sustainability and masculinity, politics and collective organising, as well as work and organisation.

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.
Our ambition is for your doctoral studies to be stimulating and purposeful throughout the programme until you have obtained your licentiate or doctoral degree. A thorough introduction will 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.

Entry requirements and selection
For admission to doctoral studies, applicants are required to meet both general entry requirements and specific entry requirements. In addition, applicants must be considered in other respects to have the ability required to benefit from the programme. A person meets the general entry requirements for doctoral studies if they have been awarded a qualification at the master’s level; have satisfied the requirements for courses of least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits at the master’s level; or have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad. For a full account of the entry requirements, refer to the admissions regulations as well as to annex 2 to the general syllabus for the doctoral programme in gender studies.

Applicants meet the specific entry requirements for doctoral studies in gender studies if they have received a passing grade in courses of at least 90 credits, including an independent project for the bachelor’s degree in gender studies or a closely related subject. Applicants who have acquired substantially corresponding knowledge, in Sweden or abroad, also meet the specific entry requirements.

Selection from among qualified applicants is made with regard to the applicant’s ability to benefit from the programme (see the university’s selection provisions, annex 2 to the general syllabus for gender studies). This ability is assessed partly on the basis of formal qualifications (education and other previous activities), and partly on demonstrated skills as shown in theses and other academic works, as well as in the outline submitted by the applicant of their preliminary PhD project. The application of a gender perspective in previous academic works constitutes a requirement for the applicant to be considered to have the ability to benefit from the programme.

Who We Are and What We Do
Women Deliver is a global feminist organization with a clear vision: A gender-just world where all girls, women, and gender-diverse people have control over their bodies and lives. We believe sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are the cornerstones of bodily autonomy and have convened gender equality advocates from all levels of power for almost two decades to advance this cause.

Working across the organization to ensure Women Deliver delivers on its commitments, this role serves as the primary link between funders and internal teams, building durable, principled relationships that sustain long-term investment in the movement for gender equality.

This role reports to the Senior Director, Partnerships and Resource Mobilization.
