Project Assistants Sought for Research Project
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked as one of the world's leading academic institutions. Here are approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our commitment to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's conditions. We are now seeking six project assistants for the project "Navigating Legal Problems Without Law" The Research Project Studies on access to justice indicate that people living under uncertain circumstances refrain from using the law to solve their legal problems. Instead, they "do nothing." This phenomenon means that legal problems are handled outside conventional legal channels. Despite extensive literature on this topic, there is limited research on how and why individuals, according to their own narratives, handle legal matters outside legal systems. The research project investigates the following research questions: How do people practice and understand "doing nothing" when dealing with legal problems? What can the practice of "doing nothing" teach us about the relevance of formal legislation in legal strategies among people in precarious living conditions? The research project examines these questions in a marginalized residential area in Sweden. The research project offers a new bottom-up method for investigating access to legal proceedings and conflict resolution, and challenges existing paradigms about how and why individuals in vulnerable situations handle the law. Duties The primary task is to organize and conduct at least 20 qualitative interviews relevant to the project, transcribe, translate (if necessary), and participate in the coding and analysis of these interviews. Before the interviews, project assistants will receive thorough training in interview techniques and methodology, and throughout the employment, they will be guided by the project researchers. Research assistants will participate in meetings every other week and three full-day workshops during the employment. Working languages are either Arabic, Somali, or Dari, and Swedish/English. Qualifications Requirements Very good ability to express yourself orally in Arabic, Somali, or Dari Ability to translate Arabic, Somali, or Dari into Swedish or English Strong motivation and ability to work independently under time pressure Good collaboration and communication skills Meriting Factors Lived experience from so-called vulnerable areas University or college-level education Experience with qualitative interviews Outgoing and sociable Assessment Criteria In the appointment, primary attention shall be paid to the qualifications achieved as described above. Very good ability to express yourself orally is of great importance. Good collaboration and communication skills are also an assessment criterion, as are good knowledge of the languages in speech and writing. We strive to ensure diversity. Gender equality shall be considered in this employment. Application The application should include an introductory letter in Swedish or English, not exceeding 1,000 words, containing a brief presentation of yourself as an applicant and your qualifications, as well as a brief description of why you are interested in being a research assistant at the Sociology of Law Department, Lund University; a CV in Swedish or English any diplomas and grades in Swedish or English; names and contact information for two references; any other documents that you as an applicant wish to submit for this position.
