The PhD student(s) will be employed within the DECENT project (Socio-technical modularity and the decentralization of infrastructure), financed by the ERC: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101219042. Cities have long relied on centralized systems to provide critical public services such as electricity, water, and transportation. These large-scale network-based infrastructures often fail to meet social, economic, and environmental needs. The DECENT project aims to investigate how decentralized infrastructure solutions – such as microgrids, small-scale wastewater treatment, multimodal transport, short food supply chains, or distributed finance – overcome the historical legacies of large-scale infrastructure systems and deliver public services in more modular ways. The PhD students will study decentralization from a configurational socio-technical perspective, focusing on aspects such as: local and global industry dynamics, geography of innovation, sustainable transitions, and/or urban experimentation. Empirically, the project will study and compare infrastructure decentralization in high-income cities (e.g., European or North American) and middle-income cities (e.g., South or Southeast Asian). The PhD students are expected to: Design and conduct empirical research on infrastructure decentralization within various sectors (e.g., water, mobility, or food) and geographical contexts, in collaboration with the project team; Write sole-authored and co-authored scientific publications during employment; Work closely with the project team and contribute to joint meetings and activities; Present their research at national and international conferences; Write and defend a doctoral dissertation.

The degree must include an independent thesis of at least 30 higher education credits, of which at least half at advanced level. Applicants must also have the ability to express themselves well orally and in writing in English. Assessment is made according to national guidelines. Employment of PhD students is regulated in the Statute Book 1998:80. Only those who are or have been admitted to doctoral education may be employed as PhD students. When appointing such a position, the student's ability to benefit from doctoral education shall be the primary consideration. In addition to pursuing their studies, those appointed to a PhD student position may be required to work with teaching duties, research, and administration, according to special provisions in the regulations.

PhD Student in Practical Philosophy in the DEMCAMP Project
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked among the world's leading academic institutions. We have approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 staff members in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's living conditions. About the Education DEMCAMP investigates how applied ethics can contribute to understanding and addressing the vulnerabilities that refugees experience in refugee camps in the Global South. The project develops a normative theory of democracy that can respond to the economic, legal, and political systems that emerge in the camps. Within the project, the doctoral student will write a thesis on the democratization of humanitarian organizations and their role in refugee camps, particularly organizations such as UNHCR. "Democratization of Refugee Camps" (DEMCAMP) is a project funded by the Swedish Foundations' Starting Grant, via the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. The research leader of the project is Felix Bender. DEMCAMP asks what applied ethics has to say about the many refugees who do not live in the Global North but remain in the Global South and, more specifically, in refugee camps. The project investigates how we can understand and adequately respond to the vulnerabilities that refugees experience in camps. The project develops 1) a theory that better captures the vulnerabilities that refugees experience in refugee camps and 2) a normative democratic theory that can address these vulnerabilities. DEMCAMP shows that in refugee camps we can observe the emergence of economic, legal, and political systems that each function according to their own rules and logics, leading to refugees experiencing a set of vulnerabilities that remain invisible if refugee vulnerability is defined externally by humanitarian organizations, such as UNHCR, and only then applied to refugee camps. To adequately respond to the vulnerabilities that refugees experience, refugee camps need to be democratized. For more information about the project, please visit https://startinggrant.se/researcher/felix-bender/. The doctoral student will work on the democratization of humanitarian organizations and collaborate with the project leader (PI) on the roles that humanitarian organizations should play in refugee camps with a democratic structure. Duties Doctoral studies. Departmental duties, such as teaching and administrative tasks, may occur. Eligibility Eligibility for doctoral studies in practical philosophy is specified in the general study plan; see https://www.ht.lu.se/utbildning/forskarutbildning/for-antagna-doktorander/dina-doktorandstudier/allmanna-studieplaner/.

Forum South also has the responsibility to serve as a regional node for the Southern Healthcare Region within the framework of the national collaboration Clinical Studies Sweden, supported by the Swedish Research Council. Our operations include some forty employees and are located at Skåne University Hospital in Lund. Please visit Forum South's website for more information about our Grants Office: https://kliniskastudier.se/forum-soder/forskningsstod-och-radgivning/grants-office 1 position(s). DUTIES As a project economist, you will be responsible for the financial dimension of the Grants Office work; from budget planning before application to basic financial monitoring and reporting in awarded EU projects. You are a key resource in the pre-grant phase: research groups without budget experience need qualified support to set up realistic, compliant budgets that hold up all the way to the final report. You have a good understanding of EU program financial rules and can translate them into practical guidance for clinical researchers. Your responsibilities include: • Constructing and reviewing project budgets for applications to various funders such as VR, Forte, EU, and foundations • Guiding research groups on national funders' cost rules and eligible costs • Providing knowledge regarding EU budget models and financial project conditions • Supporting the post-grant phase for awarded EU projects: budget structure in EU Funding & Tenders Portal, time reporting systems, and cost monitoring • Preparing and compiling documentation for financial project reporting prior to submission and serving as primary contact for financial review by third parties • Collaborating with finance managers at departments and divisions for correct cost allocation and internal invoicing • Monitoring changes in funders' financial regulations • Training research groups in basic budgeting principles for external funding. QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for someone who has: • Higher education or university degree in economics, accounting, public administration, or similar • At least three years of experience in financial work in the public sector or academic environment, or equivalent experience deemed comparable by the employer • Good understanding of project-based economics and external funding • Ability to communicate financial requirements and rules in an understandable way to non-economists • Very good language skills in Swedish and English, both spoken and written • Good proficiency in Excel and accounting systems. It is a merit if you have: • Experience in financial administration of EU-funded projects (Horizon, EU4Health, or similar) • Good knowledge of the EU Grant Agreement and financial regulations (Financial Regulation) • Experience in budget and monitoring work at Region Skåne or similar public organization • Knowledge of Region Skåne's accounting systems and internal reporting model • Experience with the Swedish Research Council's or Forte's budget models and cost specification requirements. To thrive in this role, you need to be service-minded and motivated by providing qualified support to researchers and contributing to successful applications. The work requires a structured approach, good analytical skills, and an interest in interpreting and applying funders' regulations. Project budgets are a central part of the quality and feasibility of research applications. Therefore, it is important to be able to combine financial accuracy with a pedagogical approach that makes complex cost rules understandable and usable for researchers. The role involves many contact points and periodically high work pace, which requires good prioritization skills, independence, and the ability to handle multiple parallel processes simultaneously. We are looking for someone who shares the Grants Office conviction that qualified financial support is an important prerequisite for more clinical studies to be conducted. An active interest in continuous learning and knowledge sharing within the team is therefore a natural part of the assignment. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
