We offer a multidisciplinary and internationally leading research environment. The department has two research centers: the Center for Research on Health Inequalities (CHESS) and the Center for Social Science Research on Alcohol and Drugs (SoRAD). We offer education in public health at bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. More information about us can be found at: Department of Public Health\n\nProject Description\n\nThe dissertation work will be conducted within the framework of the project \"Women's Health and Aging,\" which aims to investigate the burden, determinants, and consequences of conditions related to aging of the female reproductive system.\n\nComorbidities during menopause are common, and up to half of postmenopausal women experience urogenital problems and urinary tract symptoms, including incontinence. These common conditions have important consequences for women's social engagement and quality of life. Despite this, women's health and aging remain an underdeveloped area in public health, and inequalities are particularly understudied.\n\nThe project will contribute to mapping the burden and inequalities among women in Sweden, analyzing existing data, and comparing results from Sweden with data from other countries. Representatives of women and patient groups as well as healthcare providers will contribute to co-creation of knowledge. The project will use quantitative analyses of data from registers and cohort studies as well as qualitative analysis of data collected through stakeholder meetings and focus groups.\n\nExpected research results will help identify vulnerable population groups, empower postmenopausal women, inform policymakers, and increase health literacy among the general public.\n\nEligibility Requirements\n\nTo be admitted to doctoral education, applicants must have basic and specific eligibility. The eligibility must be met by the final application deadline.\n\nYou have basic eligibility if you have completed a degree at the advanced level, or completed coursework of at least 240 higher education credits (hp), of which at least 60 hp at the advanced level, or have in another way, within or outside the country, acquired substantially equivalent knowledge.\n\nFor specific eligibility, according to the General Study Plan for doctoral education in public health, the applicant must have good oral and written proficiency in English. For specific eligibility, it is further required that the candidate has completed coursework in quantitative or qualitative methods relevant to public health science of at least 7.5 higher education credits at the advanced level. The eligibility requirements can also be fulfilled by those who have, within or outside the country, acquired substantially equivalent competence. Any assessment of equivalence of eligibility will be made by the Director of Studies for doctoral education in public health, and the decision will be made by the Dean.\n\nSelection\n\nSelection among applicants will be made based on the ability to benefit from doctoral education. The assessment criteria applied in the selection are as follows:\n\nSubject-specific knowledge relevant to public health\nSubject-specific knowledge relevant to the research project in which the position is included\nIndependence in analysis and design in previous scientific work\nScientific rigor and quality in previous work and project proposal\nCommunication and collaboration skills\nThe department's ability to offer adequate supervision given the planned research\n\nAdmission procedures for doctoral education at Stockholm University.\n\nAbout the Position\n\nWe offer a fixed-term position as a PhD student according to Chapter 5 of the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100).
