Most PhD students are employed by LNU, which gives other dimensions to their situation. Here we have gathered some important information on your role as an employee at LNU.<\/p>

According to Swedish law, a PhD student is considered to be both an employee and a student, so you can be a member of both a student union and a trade union. However, a<\/span>s much as we would like, we cannot help PhD students with strictly work-related issues as it falls outside the Student Union’s mandate. We can typically only help in study-related matters.<\/span><\/p>

To get help with issues related to your <\/span>work and employment<\/em> we (as well as LNU) <\/span>strongly <\/span>encourage PhD students to join one of the <\/span>trade unions<\/a> at LNU. <\/span>Most of them work with PhD matters locally as well as on national level.<\/span><\/p>

Sweden has a long history of trade unions, and there are therefore quite a few to chose from. You simply have to do your own research and find the one that seems best for you.<\/span> <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
