The doctoral programme
The doctoral position focuses studies on the Holocaust and antisemitism and is part of the externally funded research project "In the shadow of genocide: memory and experience of the Holocaust and antisemitism". The project has a Nordic perspective and spans the time 1945 until today. Some research themes within the project are Holocaust as a culture of memory, antisemitism and social media, as well as Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors in the Nordic countries. However, these themes do not have to be the guiding principles for the applicants' project proposal. The focus of the call, “studies on the Holocaust and antisemitism” should be understood broadly.

Through the Graduate School, doctoral students are able to interact with other doctoral students and academic staff engaged in historical research at Lund University, the University of Gothenburg, Linnaeus University, Malmö University and Södertörn University.
