Your role

Your tasks will mainly consist of conducting telephone interviews with participants in the ongoing treatment study.

The applicant must have knowledge of the importance of psychological factors in long-term pain, behavioral interventions (CBT, ACT) and preferably also digital interventions. It is an advantage if you are studying in the psychology program. The applicant must be able to speak and write fluent Swedish and English.
