About the department

The Department of Sociology and Work Science has about 120 employed, teachers, researchers, PhD-students and administrative staff. The Department carries out research, education and collaboration in a number of areas. There is research in areas like the labor market, working life, social deviance, digitalization, emotions, gender, migration, environmental issues, social movements, governance and organization as well as science and technology.

The different fields of research in the department are mainly coordinated around a number of seminar series, where there is constant cross-fertilization as most staff members follow more than one seminar series.

Courses are offered in a range of fields such as sociology, work science, human resource management, criminology and social psychology. The Department also has extensive commitment to several of the University's educational programmes, particularly in teacher education. Collaboration and development projects are conducted both in research and education with partners in the private and public sector for example through the Centre for Global Human Resource Management (CGHRM).

Sociology

Duties

The Department of Sociology and Work Science is seeking a postdoctoral fellow who will work in an existing project titled “A Sea of Plastic: Social Structural Drivers of Marine Plastic Pollution in Europe” (2024-2026). This project will examine political-economic processes associated with growing plastic production and consumption in the European Economic Area, with a focus on marine pollution. The primary aim of this project is to identify social- structural processes that act as underlying drivers of growing plastics pollution.

The postdoctoral scholar in this position is expected to conduct research in collaboration with the research team including national and international researchers. The project will be directed by the PI, Dr. Stefano B. Longo. The duties for the position include compiling and organizing historical/existing data, planning and conducting interviews, analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, and publishing the results in scientific articles. Some travel for fieldwork will be expected. Within the framework of the employment, there is the opportunity to independently develop research ideas.

The employment as a postdoctoral fellow aims to give the employee an early opportunity to develop independence as a researcher after completing a doctorate and to create the conditions for further qualifications. The person employed as a postdoctoral fellow must mainly conduct research. Teaching is also included in the work duties, but to a maximum of one-fifth of the working time .

Eligibility

The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.

To be eligible for this appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree in sociology, or a degree, obtained in Sweden or abroad, that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree in sociology for example sustainability science or human ecology. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made.

In the first instance, those who have completed their degree no more than three years prior to the end of the application period shall be considered. Those who have completed their degree more than three years prior to the end of the application period may also be considered in the first instance if special grounds exist.

In order to be able to carry out planned empirical collection, the applicant must have a very good ability (equivalent to CEFR B2) to communicate in English in speech and writing. Swedish language skills are meritorious and command of other European languages can be advantageous.

Documented training in environmental sociology, human ecology, and/or sustainability science is meritorious.

Knowledge of issues associated with plastics production and consumption is useful.

To be successful in the position, the candidate must have good organizational and problem-solving skills. Great importance is placed on personal suitability, which is expressed in, among other things, communication and cooperation skills, and the ability to work independently.
