From: Anna Lindström [anna.lindstrom at lingfil.uu.se]
Subject: Swedish; Conversation Analysis; General Linguistics: PhD, Uppsala University, Sweden

 Institution/Organization: Uppsala University 
Department: Linguistics 
Web Address: http://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=148675# 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 
Conversation Analysis 
Required Language(s): Swedish (swe)

Description:

Uppsala Antibiotic Center (UAC) was announced in 2015 to bring together,
stimulate and support research addressing important questions regarding
antibiotic resistance from all three disciplinary domains at UU: Medicine and
Pharmacy, Science and Technology and Humanities and Social sciences. UAC is
now advertising 14 PhD positions.

Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly expanding global problem. The complexity of
the current situation requires novel approaches in all scientific disciplines
including new antibiotics, better understanding of resistance development,
faster diagnostic methods, new economic models for drug development, global
governance and better understanding of how to change behavior around the use
of antibiotics and spread of pathogenic bacteria. 

The present position is located at the Department of Linguistics and
Philology. Starting date: September 1, or as otherwise agreed. We seek a
highly-motivated individual who is able to both work independently and as part
of a team and who is interested in using Conversation Analysis to study
clinical encounters between doctors/nurses and patients. The department of
Linguistics and Philology at Uppsala University has a strong and international
research and teaching environment.

Project description (short version): This multidisciplinary PhD project will
investigate the social and linguistic patterns of antibiotic prescription in
Swedish primary care. We will make video-recordings of Swedish primary care
visits where the patient is seeking medical care for routine upper respiratory
infection symptoms. Previous research has established that this is a context
where inappropriate antibiotic prescription is a concern. Our corpus will
include consultations with nurses as well as doctors and it will be the first
of its kind. We will use Conversation Analytic methods to document how
expectations for particular remedies (including antibiotics) are raised, how
triage, problem presentation, physical examination, paraclinical testing and
diagnoses are carried out and how treatment recommendations are negotiated.
Our findings will be developed into teaching resources targeted towards pre-
and post-qualification medical training and nursing programs. These resources
will document real life situations where antibiotics are prescribed as well as
the communicative strategies used by experienced doctors and nurses to avoid
inappropriate antibiotic prescription. Our study will fill a gap in
international research on how antibiotic treatment discussions are carried out
in situ within the details of primary care consultations and the educational
materials that we will develop will provide tools for engaging in responsible
antimicrobial stewardship.

Duties: The successful PhD candidate will be a member of the UAC
multidisciplinary graduate school and carry out research in collaboration with
professor Anna Lindström with the aim of documenting the social and linguistic
organization of antibiotic prescription in Swedish primary care.
