PhD in Gender Studies

PhD students placed at the Centre for Gender Research may be PhD students in Gender Studies, or PhD students “shared” with other disciplines at Uppsala University, or guest PhD students enrolled at other universities in Sweden or abroad. PhD studentships are advertised, when available, both on the Centre's website and on Uppsala University's website. 

At the Centre for Gender Research, the PhD student is a colleague and an important presence in the local research community. The PhD student will be expected to do course studies and thesis project work, but also to participate actively in seminars, conferences, work towards academic publications, and continuously work to stay up-to-date regarding current research in areas that are relevant to their thesis and to a degree in Gender Studies. The PhD may be pursued in English or Swedish.
