CeCAR is hosted by Department of Political Science and headed by Professor Sverker C. Jagers. A description of the research programme can be downloaded from
http://cecar.gu.seThe objective of CeCAR is to conduct theoretical, empirical and interdisciplinary research aimed at furthering our understanding of the conditions under which successful coordinated or uncoordinated large scale collective action occur. Examples of large scale collective action dilemmas are environmental problems such as climate change, overfishing, deforestation and fresh water usage.
We will admit and fund one well-qualified and highly motivated student to work on issues covered by this programme. In addition from being well anchored in political science and interested in working with environmental issues, we are particularly interested in candidates who have a record of accomplishments in one or more of the following areas:
(1) Collective action theory
(2) Public opinion, social and political psychology and/or behavioural economics (e.g., how actors' values, beliefs, norms, personality and trust affect prospects for cooperative behaviour).
(3) Experimental design
(4) Quantitative research methods such as survey methodology, multi-level analyses and structural equation modelling.
The admitted student is thus supposed to write his or her doctoral thesis within the CeCAR programme, and to actively participate in the programme's activities. The working language within the centre is English. Apart from salary, CeCAR offer good opportunities for data collection, conference participation and international networking.
The aim of the doctoral programme is for students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to be able to conduct research autonomously within political science and to contribute to the development of knowledge within the discipline with a doctoral thesis. In addition, good opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaborations with other involved disciplines are provided. Another aim is for doctoral students to develop an ability to later apply the acquired knowledge and skills within post-degree research or other professional work.
Admission to the doctoral programme at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, comes with a 4-year salaried position on a fulltime, residential basis, with the possibility of extension for a fifth year if the student completes a minimum of 20 percent teaching/other duties during the first four years. Students get office space, computer, and office phone and access to all standard services in the department.
To be eligible for the position, the applicant must meet both general and specific entry requirements. An applicant meets the general entry requirements for third-cycle (PhD) studies if he/she has obtained (Higher Education Ordinance Ch.7, Sec.39):
1. a degree at the second-cycle level (MA-level or equivalent),
2. at least 240 higher education (university) credits, of which at least 60 must be at the second-cycle level, or
3. largely equivalent knowledge in other ways in Sweden or abroad. In Sweden, 240 university credits equals four years of completed full-time studies.
An applicant meets the specific entry requirements for doctoral (PhD) studies if he/she has at least 60 university credits in political science or has equivalent qualifications.
Applicants who have acquired largely equivalent knowledge in Sweden or abroad will also be considered to meet the specific entry requirements. (60 university credits correspond to one year of completed full-time studies.) For more information see the doctoral programme's general syllabus:
http://pol.gu.se/english/education/ph.d.-programmeFinally, although not a formal requirement, we encourage successful applicants to acquire sufficient competency in the Swedish language to be able to actively participate in seminars and other activities at the Department, within a two-year period.
The Department of Political Science is an open and engaged department, in the middle of the city and at the centre of the debate. The Department has about 140 employees, with more than 80 researchers, teachers and doctoral (PhD) students. The research at the Department focus on central areas of political science, such as voters and elections, political institutions, environmental politics and international politics, European politics, environmental politics and political ideas. Research programmes and collaboration projects at the Department include the Swedish National Election Studies Programme, Quality of Government Institute (QoG), Multidisciplinary Research on Democracy (MOD), Centre for Collective Action Research (CeCAR), Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), Governance and Local Development at Gothenburg (GLD-G) and the Centre for European Research (CERGU).
