Södertörn University is an institution in Stockholm that educates, researches, and collaborates for sustainable societal development. Approximately 14,000 students study here across about 80 programs and over 300 courses. Education and research are conducted in the fields of humanities, social sciences, engineering, and natural sciences. The university also offers teacher education with an intercultural profile and police education. Much of the research focuses on issues related to the Baltic Sea and Eastern Europe. At Södertörn University, subjects, perspectives, people, and experiences are mixed. Here you will find the curious and the questioning, those seeking unexpected combinations, development, and challenges.

Since 2015, Södertörn University has been conducting police education on behalf of the Police Authority, and currently has about 800 students enrolled in the police program. The Department of Police Sciences (IPV) has approximately 120 employees, most of whom are teachers with police expertise loaned from the Police Authority.

In the autumn of 2024, a collaborative project was launched at the department, Sweden Against Organized Crime (SMOB), sh.se/smob (https://www.sh.se/smob). SMOB is an excellence initiative aimed at strengthening Sweden's ability to combat organized crime, with a particular focus on the criminal economy. By improving the capacity of professionals and enhancing collaboration between various societal actors through research, education, and innovation, SMOB contributes to society's overall ability to complicate and prevent criminal activities that threaten the country's security and welfare. The project is run by the Department of Police Sciences at Södertörn University in collaboration with eight authorities and four business and labor organizations. We are now looking for a project researcher for SMOB.
