Vacant job

The National Centre for Knowledge on Men's Violence against Women (NCK) at Uppsala University and Akademiska Sjukhuset is a national knowledge centre on men's violence against women and intimate partner violence, honour-based violence and oppression, sexual violence, as well as prostitution and human trafficking. NCK also provides support to victims of violence.

Education is one of the cornerstones of NCK's operations. Men's violence against women and intimate partner violence is a distinct interdisciplinary field of knowledge. This area is now part of university-level education across several disciplines. Knowledge about violence and its consequences is crucial for providing appropriate responses and adequate support to those who have been subjected to violence, as well as their children. Knowledge is also needed to conduct preventive work, create resources, and change attitudes in society.

For further information and a description of the field of knowledge, see NCK's website.
