Convocatoira: PhD student in Sociological Demography – Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA) (Plazo: 1 de octubre de 2025)

PhD student in Sociological Demography – Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA)

Organismo: Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA)

Requisitos: 

The PhD position is part of the 5-year project “Sexual and Reproductive Outcomes of Violent Crime (SeRO)” funded by a European Research Council 2025 Starting Grant. Dr. Signe Svallfors leads the project as its Principal Investigator (PI). The project uses mixed methods to investigate how local violent crime affects sexual and reproductive health outcomes in Mexico. The project will recruit two PhD candidates who will contribute to quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods components of the research. The PhD student with quantitative 

focus will analyze large-scale survey data, municipality-level homicide rates, and clinic data from Mexico to identify patterns in how exposure to violent crime affects sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Prior training in quantitative methods is required, particularly experience with demographic and/or health analysis using statistical software such as Stata or R. An interest in causal inference, mediation analysis, and intersectional quantitative methods is an additional asset. 

The PhD candidate will have opportunities to focus their dissertation research on specific aspects of the SeRO project, such as analyzing particular health outcomes, examining specific population subgroups, or investigating adaptation strategies. The candidate is welcome to engage in mixed-methods research in the two branches of the project. 

The PhD student will work closely together with the PI, a PhD candidate with qualitative focus, and two research assistants. There is also an international advisory board with experts who will be involved sporadically in supportive roles. The project includes opportunities for international conference travel, research visits to other universities, and additional training beyond the doctoral program (such as summer courses).
