Stockholm University invites, Applications for a position as a doctoral student in Public Health, placed at Stress Research Institute (SFI), are invited. The position involves studies of the effects of work-time control on health, well-being and job-related outcomes (e.g. work satisfaction, turnover intention, wish for retirement). The project aims to understand who benefits most from work-time control, and under which circumstances. It will shed light on who gains little or no benefit from increased control over working time arrangements and how work times can be optimized to match both individual needs and facilitate effective production. The doctoral student will work in a research project financed by Forte. The successful candidate will have ample opportunities to develop and pursue doctoral studies in a stimulating research environment. The position involves epidemiological analyses of available data from our SLOSH database (Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health), with emphasis on longitudinal data analyses. Depending on the specific interests and qualifications of the selected applicant, the doctoral project could focus on the association between work-time control and health or work related factors.
