In short: LiUPhD and DOMFIL need your help for gathering your experience(s) and show that there is a need for a doktorandombudsman. Help us by filling in and spreading this form as much as possible! More information about this work will be given at the chapter meeting.
In more details: Currently, Linköping University (LiU) is missing a doktorandombudsman role. Such a position aims at assisting Ph.D. students when they run into challenges (no matter how small or serious) concerning the Ph.D. education. The doktorandombudsman is an external person who is independent of the Ph.D. research environment.
LiUPhD and DOMFIL, together with the unions and the student unions, have been working towards establishing such a position, unfortunately without results yet.
As the next step of our action, we would like to gather experiences from Ph.D. students at LiU that show the need for such a position. To do that, we need your help!
Have you ever encountered a problem you needed support with? Or wanted some advice regarding your PhD education?
Then you can help us by answering our questionnaire. It does not matter if you got the help you needed or not, if you believe it "is just a small thing" or "it is the same for everyone", all experiences are very valuable. It is perfectly ok to write about several experiences and it is completely anonym.
Thanks for sharing your experience! For questions, send a mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
For now, we plan to have this form opened until the 1st of September but please contribute as soon as possible in order to allow for us to have time to prepare based on the contributions.
Best Regards
The LiUPhD board
