Doctoral Position in Labour Law at Lund University

Overview
The advertised doctoral position is partly financed by and integrated into a larger research programme, Regulating Markets and Labour – Nordic, European and Global Perspectives (ReMarkLab). The research programme ReMarkLab is led by Professor Niklas Bruun at the Faculty of Law at Stockholm University and Associate Professor Mia Rönnmar (intended main supervisor) is one of the members of the research programme.

The doctoral project and its subject shall be conducted and situated within the research programme, starting from the ongoing globalisation of the economy and the internationalisation of law itself. The content of labour law at national level is decided through a complex interplay between different actors (legislators, courts, social partners, multinational companies etc.) at different levels (national, regional and global), and the tension between labour law and economic law and the market is increasingly important.
