Malmö University is an innovative, urban and international institute of higher education, located in the centre of Malmö. We have around 1,800 employees and 24,000 students. Our research and education are characterised by the role we believe a university should play in an open society — to contribute to sustainability and equality in a scientifically grounded way with external partners and stakeholders. Identifying and addressing the challenges of the future are of highest priority.
Faculty of Education and Society
The Faculty of Education and Society is characterised by fresh ideas in the formulation of educational programmes and in its collaboration with schools, local authorities, organisations and business.
The faculty, which has about 7,500 students and 320 employees, consists of six departments: Children, Youth and Society (BUS), Sport Sciences (IDV), Society, Culture and Identity (SKI), Culture, Languages and Media (KSM), Natural Science, Mathematics and Society (NMS) and School Development and Leadership (SOL).
The faculty has degree-awarding powers in all programmes, with bachelor and master degrees in Pre-School and Education as the goal, and in sports and educational programmes at third cycle level. There are also programmes for study and career guidance counsellors and special educational needs teachers
The Department of Natural science, Mathematics and Society (NMS)
The employments are located at the Department of Natural science, Mathematics and Society (NMS). The department has approximately 50 employees and conduct education, research and developmental work.
The research at NMS focus education and learning in natural science, sustainability and mathematics in preschool, school, adult education and teacher education.
Science Education and Mathematics Education (NMDI)
The research within NMDI generates knowledge about learning, teaching, subject content, democracy issues and identity development in relation to school subjects and to preschool activities in science and mathematics. At Malmö University, the subject is linked to the research environment SISEME - Studies in Science, Environmental and Mathematics Education, which primarily takes didactical, societal, and linguistic perspectives on learning and education in the mentioned subjects.
Within the PhD-subject NMDI, we are hiring two doctoral students in mathematics education. We welcome applications that focus on challenges and opportunities for school subjects and preschool activities in mathematics including applications that relate the subject mathematics to interdisciplinary approaches.
Below some areas that the research environment is particularly interested within the frame of NMDI in are listed. The doctoral positions are also open to other specializations connected to mathematics education.
- Migration, processes of globalization, multilingualism, language and culturally heterogenous learning spaces
- Sustainability, climate change, environmental challenges, action competence within and through the subject of mathematics
- Inclusion, norms, identity development, social justice
- Literacy, professional development, policy studies
- Digitization, digital information systems, technology use
Content and duties
Those who are employed as doctoral students are expected to primarily devote themselves to their own research education (located at Malmö University).
The intended degree is a PhD, which corresponds to a 4-year full-time research education. Within the framework of the doctoral employment, up to 20% of institutional service may occur, and the employment is then extended accordingly.
