at the Department of Mathematics and Science Education. Closing date: 1 October 2021.

The Department of Mathematics and Science Education (MND) has the largest combined department in mathematics and science education in Sweden, with approximately 120 employees, approximately 50 of which work in mathematics education. The department offers pre-service programmes in mathematics and science for primary and secondary schooling, as well as Honours (Magister), Master and Doctoral programmes.

The research at the department covers all the levels of the educational system and several researchers work with participatory research designs. Research in mathematics education covers topics such as children’s mathematical reasoning and thinking, conceptual development in higher mathematics, assessment of mathematics learning, multilingualism and cultural diversity in school mathematics learning, school mathematics and social inclusion and exclusion, and mathematics’ teachers learning and professional development. Read more about the department at www.mnd.su.se. For further information on the mathematics education activities, visit mathematics education.

Project description
The doctoral students will conduct their research within the research school REMATH (Researching Practice-Based Mathematics Teacher Education), financed by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). REMATH is a collaboration between the universities of Stockholm, Mälardalen, Kristianstad and Dalarna. The purpose of the research school is to contribute to research-based knowledge about teacher education as a foundation for guiding the organisation and content of mathematics teacher education. REMATH contributes to the development of our national research community and the development of scientific competence in mathematics teacher education at several Swedish higher education institutions.

The theme for the research is practice-based teacher education. Practice-based teacher education addresses: what it takes to learn in and from practice; how high-leverage practices in teachers’ work is transformed into an object for learning; and how programmes can be organised to contribute to a stronger research-based teacher education.

Within this theme, one focus will be mapping mathematics teacher education in Sweden and internationally. This includes but is not restricted to looking at the learning of students during their education, the interplay between theory and practice, and how practice is represented and made visible to students.

Also falling within the theme is to studying and developing how inclusion is integrated in mathematics teacher education, both when it comes to learners and student teachers with varied backgrounds and prerequisites. To develop and trial alternatives to current mathematics teacher education is furthermore a natural focus area within the theme.

REMATH offers a total of nine doctoral positions, of which three will be placed at MND, Stockholm University, two at Dalarna University, two at Kristianstad University and two at Mälardalen University. The doctoral projects must be within the theme and foci described above. For further information about REMATH, see www.su.se/english/research/research-projects/remath-researching-practice-based-mathematics-teacher-education-a-national-graduate-school.

Qualification requirements
In order to meet the general entry requirements, the applicant must have completed a second-cycle degree, completed courses equivalent to at least 240 higher education credits, of which 60 credits must be in the second cycle, or have otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge in Sweden or elsewhere.

• Have a qualification as mathematics teacher or equivalent.
• Have approved courses equivalent to 30 higher education credits at second-cycle level in the area of mathematics education, including thesis work for at least 15 credits, or equivalent.

The qualification requirements must be met by the deadline for applications.

Selection
The selection among the eligible candidates will be based on their capacity to benefit from the education. The following criteria will be used to assess this capacity: the candidates’ documented knowledge in a relevant field of research, the candidates’ documented knowledge in scientific theory and method, as well as the capacity for analytical thinking, initiative and the ability to collaborate. The research plan will be assessed for the scientific quality and the relevance to the theme of the doctoral school REMATH. You have excellent language abilities in English

Project description
The doctoral research will be developed in the frame of the national doctoral school RelMaS, which is a program funded by the Swedish Research Council, and offered in partnership between Stockholm, Malmö and Uppsala universities. The doctoral school admitted its first cohort of students in 2021, and we are now recruiting a second cohort of students. It is directed to increase the research capacity in teacher education in the areas of mathematics and science education.

The doctoral program aims at developing practice-oriented research aiming to analyze and develop didactic models for making relevant mathematics and science education.

RelMaS addresses the challenges of educating younger generations for navigating and transforming contemporary environmental and societal challenges, where mathematical and scientific knowledge intertwine in dealing with wicked problems now and in the future. This involves negotiating common views of the content, pedagogies and research foundations of school mathematics and science, to make them significant for active citizenship and to provide equitable access to the content to a diverse student population. RelMaS has available a total of 9 doctoral positions, 4 of which will be placed at the Department of Mathematics and Science Education.

The general research field of RelMaS addresses two interconnected dimensions of contemporary mathematics and science education:

1. the relevance of mathematics and science content in teacher education and schools for increased action competence and citizenship,
2. the relevance of mathematics and science content and pedagogies to reach and engage a diverse student population.

Methodologically, these thematic dimensions are to be approached through collaborative research between schools and universities to produce results connected to school practice. Projects can be formulated as science education or interdisciplinary cutting across science and mathematics.

Project description
The interdisciplinary field of quantum information processing and communication connects quantum mechanics/optics/electronics with classical information theory to achieve tasks in information and communication that are impossible with classical methods. This fusion has led to new concepts such as the qubit, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, and quantum computing.

Quantum information has also revitalized the discussions about the foundations of quantum theory. The field is currently very active and is driving for progress in both physics and computer science, information technology. The research objectives of our group include experimental preparation and characterization of multipartite entanglement and tests on the foundations of quantum mechanics, such as the locality and the contextually.

In quantum communication, the objectives are the implementations of quantum key distribution, quantum random number generation, secure quantum multiparty communication, and qubit and entanglement assisted communication protocols.

The aim of this project is to develop security tools for quantum cryptography protocols and communication system solutions. The practical security of quantum systems verification will be guaranteed by successive iterations of security loophole demonstrations and countermeasure implementations.

This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative started in 2018 with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology.
