Overview
Two doctoral student positions in Medical Law at the Department of Law, starting September 1, 2011 or as otherwise agreed.
Medical Law is a comparatively young research subject at Uppsala University, introduced to meet a growing need for research focussed on the role of law in different areas of biomedicine. Medical Law transcends the borders of more traditional legal disciplines and deals with aspects of public law, private law, criminal law, EU law and public international law, as well as the interaction between law and ethics. Within this subject studies may concern legal aspects of rapidly developing scientific areas – such as genetic diagnosis or the use of ICT in healthcare – but also questions related to organisation and responsibilities in healthcare and biomedical research, as well as the status and rights of patients and research subjects. Pharmaceutical law and the regulation of forensic medicine constitute other areas of Medical Law.
An employed doctoral student shall, foremost, be devoted to his or her own postgraduate research. Other duties at the faculty which relate to teaching and administrative work may be included within the scope of the employment (to a maximum of 20%).
A requirement for employment as doctoral student is that the applicant must be admitted to postgraduate studies. To this extent, the applicant’s ability to successfully complete the doctoral studies will be decisive. The regulations governing the employment of doctoral students may be found in Chapter 5, §§ 1-7 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
The faculty is striving to achieve a more equal gender balance and male candidates are particularly invited to apply
Local guidelines are established for setting the salary.
A person may be employed as a doctoral student for a maximum of eight years, but no longer than the equivalent of four years of full-time postgraduate research study.
All applications must be in writing and should include the following:
■Completed application forms for admission to postgraduate studies, and employment as doctoral student (forms available on the faculty website www.jur.uu.se/ under “Research education”).
■Signed and witnessed curriculum vitae.
■Certified copies of degrees obtained and other relevant documents.
■One copy of written legal work, e.g. articles, undergraduate degree final essay or similar.
■A short description of the planned doctoral project, with a time schedule for the entire period of study. In this research plan, the applicant should give his or her view of the project and its potential, by briefly describing its intended focus, the research questions, and the methods to be applied.
Please note that all documents attached to the application should be translated into English or Swedish.
