Statsvetenskapliga institutionen vid Göteborgs universitet söker nu en postdoktor i statsvetenskap, 100% av heltid, för en tvåårig anställning, med möjlighet till förlängning med ett år. Anställningen är inriktad mot forskning inom områdena politiskt beteende och jämförande politik, med särskilt fokus på föräldraskap, hälsa, graviditet och samhälleliga utfall.

Arbetsuppgifter 

Anställningen som postdoktor syftar till att efter avlagd doktorsexamen ge arbetstagaren en tidig möjlighet att utveckla sin självständighet som forskare samt skapa förutsättningar för vidare meritering. Den som anställs som postdoktor ska i huvudsak bedriva forskning. Undervisning kan ingå i arbetsuppgifterna, dock till högst en femtedel av arbetstiden.

Arbetet sker i nära samarbete med forskningsgruppen och kan omfatta ansvar för egna delstudier. Postdoktorn förväntas självständigt utveckla teoretiska och empiriska idéer i skärningspunkten mellan statsvetenskap, hälsoforskning, nationalekonomi, registerbaserade metoder och forskning om ojämlikhet.

I arbetsuppgifterna ingår att leda och medverka i arbetet med vetenskapliga publikationer, utveckla och genomföra kvantitativa analyser, samt förbereda, länka och analysera register- och enkätdata. Det kan exempelvis handla om data från Graviditetsregistret, Neonatalregistret, LISA, valregister, andra svenska administrativa register och tidigare enkätundersökningar inom PregDem. Arbetet kan också omfatta etikansökningar, dokumentation, mätstrategier, dataförberedelser, projektmöten, workshops och internationella samarbeten.

Anställningen erbjuder goda möjligheter till handledning och mentorskap, konferensdeltagande, metod- och kompetensutveckling samt, där det är relevant, ytterligare datainsamling inom projektens ramar.

Bedömningsgrunder 

Bedömningen kommer i första hand att baseras på vetenskaplig skicklighet och den sökandes förutsättningar att bedriva och utveckla forskning inom anställningens område. Särskild vikt läggs vid kvaliteten i den sökandes forskningsproduktion, förmåga att arbeta självständigt och potential att bidra till projekten.

Följande kvalifikationer är krav:

• Doktorsexamen i statsvetenskap eller i ett relevant närliggande ämne senast vid den tidpunkt då anställningsbeslutet fattas.
• Dokumenterad forskningskompetens med relevans för något av anställningens forskningsområden.
• God förmåga att självständigt producera vetenskaplig text av hög kvalitet.
• Mycket goda kunskaper i engelska i tal och skrift.

Meriterande är erfarenhet av kvantitativa metoder, särskilt kausala eller kvasi-experimentella forskningsdesigner, samt arbete med registerdata, kvalitetsregister, longitudinella enkätdata eller andra storskaliga datakällor. Erfarenhet av kvantitativ analys i exempelvis Stata, R eller Python är också meriterande.

Vi ser gärna sökande med forskningserfarenhet inom politiskt deltagande, representation, kön och politik, hälsoskillnader, arbetsmarknadsutfall eller social ojämlikhet. Vetenskapliga publikationer, manuskript av hög kvalitet, tvärvetenskapligt samarbete, projektledning eller ansvar för delstudier är också meriterande.

Arbetet innebär att använda svenska register, dokumentation och myndighetsrelaterade system. Kunskaper i svenska är inte ett krav, men den som anställs behöver vara beredd att orientera sig i den svenska kontexten och vid behov utveckla relevant språkförståelse under anställningen.

För att lyckas i denna anställning behöver du kunna arbeta noggrant och självständigt, kommunicera väl med forskare från olika ämnesområden och bidra konstruktivt i en forskargrupp som spänner över statsvetenskap, obstetrik, epidemiologi och närliggande områden. Stor vikt läggs vid personlig lämplighet för anställningen, särskilt samarbetsförmåga, analytisk självständighet och förmåga att ta ansvar för forskningsuppgifter inom gemensamma projekt.

Vi gör en helhetsbedömning och den sökande som bedöms ha bäst förutsättningar att genomföra och utveckla de ovan beskrivna arbetsuppgifterna erbjuds anställning.

Ansökan ska vara inkommen senast: 2026-09-07
