Doctoral student in migration medicine and integration
The Faculty of Medicine is a part of Lund University, and is responsible for education and research within medicine and healthcare. Our academic programs are closely linked with the healthcare system and are firmly anchored in the faculty’s strong research tradition. Our research spans a broad field within experimental preclinical research, near-patient clinical research and health sciences research. The Faculty of Medicine, with its 1,800 employees and 2,700 students in Lund and Malmö, is a knowledge-intensive meeting place for students, teachers and researchers from all over the world.
The research at the CPF is funded by ALF funds Region Skåne, National Institutes of Health (NIH), the European Research Council (ERC) and the Swedish Research Council. The CPF's overall mission is to carry out world-leading research within primary care as an active exchange of knowledge between academia and primary care. The research is conducted in collaboration with researchers at Swedish and international universities, dealing with major chronic diseases: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and psychological ill health, as well as women’s and children’s health and the health effects of migration and socioeconomic disadvantage. The research activities extend throughout Skåne via a number of general medical knowledge centers (AKCs) at the whole region's primary health care centers.
We are looking for a well-qualified doctoral student with an interest in how migration affects integration and mental health. The position is located within Professor Jan Sundquist's research team. The research group has a long-term collaboration with several leading international universities, such as Stanford University, Mt Sinai, and Kyoto. This employment as a PhD student in migration medicine and integration will be financed within the framework of an ERC advanced grant.
The research education in migration medicine and integration is suitable for a broad range of disciplines (e.g. public health, medical science, criminology, economic history, and national economics) and provides a doctoral degree in public health science / medical science that comprises 240 högskolepoäng, which is equivalent to four years’ full-time university studies. The education ends with the doctoral student defending their doctoral dissertation at a public defense. The focus of this doctoral employment is how migration affects integration and mental health. You are expected to contribute to the issues raised in the project, which is supported by the ERC. This happens via work with several large and unique epidemiological data sources that originate from the national population and health records in Sweden. The doctoral student’s scientific articles will be published in international peer reviewed journals.
