The Department of Law invites applications for one to two doctoral positions in law.

The Department of Law is part of the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg. Legal education and research have been conducted in Gothenburg since the School was founded in 1923. The Department of Law has expanded greatly over the last few years and it is steadily growing with new researchers and lecturers joining the staff. Today, there are more than 90 employees, approximately 1,300 undergraduate and graduate students and around 20 doctoral students. Further information can be found at www.law.gu.se

Job assignments:
The doctoral position will start in August 2017. The period of the employment is initially one year of full-time studies, with possibility to extend it. The total length of the doctoral position is 48 months of full-time studies. Doctoral students shall primarily devote themselves to their studies. Doctoral students may work to a limited extent, max 20% of full-time, with educational and administrative tasks at the Department of Law. In such case, the study period will be extended with the corresponding period of time. The doctoral studentship comprises full-time studies.

The successful candidates will be admitted in one of the department's doctoral subjects: legal science, public law, civil law, criminal law, international law, law of procedure and tax law.

Eligibility:
An applicant meets the general eligibility requirements for postgraduate studies (third-cycle studies) if he or she:
• has been awarded a second-cycle qualification
• has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 higher education credits/ECTS credits of which at least 60 higher education credits/ECTS credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or
• has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.

An applicant meets the specific eligibility requirements if he or she has been awarded LLB and LLM degrees, corresponding to at least 270 higher education credits credits/ECTS credits in Law (Sw. Juristexamen) or the equivalent at a Swedish higher education institution or has acquired knowledge that provides the equivalent competence in Sweden or abroad.

When assessing whether the equivalent qualification is sufficient, particular consideration shall be given to the requirements to successfully carry out the postgraduate studies within the specific subject area. Applicants shall have sufficient knowledge of Swedish or English.

Applicants should be awarded the necessary degree or should have passed all courses required for the necessary degree on the 22 February 2017, at the latest.

Assessment:
In accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance 5:5, the selection among the qualified applicants will be primarily based on the assessment of the applicants' ability to get knowledge in the field of the postgraduate studies. During the selection process, an overall assessment of the applicant's capacity, the planned project's qualities and the Department's prerequisites for providing the necessary support is carried out.

The following aspects will be considered in the project outline: the applicant's knowledge of previous and current research within the field; the scientific basis of the addressed issues; the adequateness of the described methods; and last but not least, the feasibility of the project within the frame of the postgraduate studies. Another relevant assessment criterion that might be taken into consideration is the Department's ambition to achieve a complete academic environment and secure its future competence needs.

The recruitment process can include interviews and tests. The applicants will be asked to provide references.

The decision about the admission to postgraduate studies is made by the Head of Department upon recommendation from the Department's Research Committee.
