PhD opportunities and salaried positions in Sweden
Explore opportunities through their research, funding and deadlines, then check the details at the source.
How to evaluate these opportunities
Compare the research, eligibility, employment funding and application requirements of Swedish doctoral opportunities.
Start with the specific research question and group, then check the required degree and subject background. Do not infer equivalence from a translated degree title.
For salaried positions, check gross pay, contract length and teaching duties separately. The particular vacancy and contract determine the terms.
Confirm English evidence, transcripts, research experience and the formal recruitment system before preparing an application.
These records have a future listed deadline, rolling applications or recruitment until filled. A future date does not confirm that a position remains open. Check the formal notice before applying.

Application and funding checklist
Check the position and admission requirements together
KTH illustrates a route that starts with a specific doctoral vacancy. General admission requirements and the vacancy's subject requirements both apply. Compare the research tasks, transcripts and experience, then confirm degree recognition and English documentation with the relevant institution.
Read funding and training arrangements together
Compare the funding route, contract, research tasks and teaching responsibilities. Confirm the recruiting organisation and the institution responsible for doctoral education. Institutional examples explain the checks; the actual vacancy determines the terms.
Find the formal submission route
Check the recruitment system, document list and deadline on the project page and original notice. KTH distinguishes applying for a position, selection and admission. Supervisor contact and research reading support preparation; formal documents still follow the recruiting institution's instructions.
