Update 22.11.2022: We as the doctoral board are looking PhD student representatives to two positions: Board for Investigation of Misconduct (sv: Nämnden för utredning av avvikelser från god forskningssed (NUAF), 1 position) for the mandate period 2023-2025, and the Electoral College (sv: universitetskollegiet, 1 ordinary and 2 suppleant positions). See more information below.
For both positions, apply by emailing dn@uuf.se by Sunday 27th November. Don’t hesitate to ask me if any questions arise for either of these positions.
Board for Investigation of Misconduct in Research (1 ordinary member)
The Advisory Board for External Collaboration advises the Vice-Chancellor on university-wide issues concerning collaboration. The board prepares matters assigned to it by the Vice-Chancellor. The Advisory Board for External Collaboration has eleven members and is led by the Vice-Chancellor or a person designated by the Vice-Chancellor (the Chair). The members of the board are appointed by the Vice-Chancellor, acting on proposals from the disciplinary domains (two members per disciplinary domain), the University Director (one member) and the Innovation Partnership Office (one member). Two members are appointed by the students in accordance with the provisions of the Student Union Ordinance (2009:769). This term is 2023-2025, but I encourage all of you to apply even if you are unsure whether you could fill out the whole mandate period yourself.

Electoral college (1 ordinary member, 2 suppleant positions)
The Electoral College (universitetskollegiet) serves as the consultative assembly during the procedure for making proposals for the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor. The Electoral College meets in Swedish.
We are looking for 1 ordinary representative to fill out the roster of a total of 3 PhD student representatives, and additionally 2 suppleant positions to have a total of 3+3 representatives in the Electoral college for this academic year. The positions should be fairly lightweight in the terms of workload, but the topics discussed within the Electoral college are surely interesting.
