Swedish term or phrase: pardoktorand
pardoktorand, Two doctoral students working in tandem.

But has a specific term been adopted in English for this?

pardoktorand programme, pardoktoran project

doctoral student working in a pair (alt. paired doctoral student)
Explanation:
These are just suggestions.
Another suggestion would be "doctoral student working in a joint project" or a similar construction.

I doubt "pardoktorand", in the singular, can refer to "two doctoral students working in tandem" - the appropriate construction for that would be either "doktorandpar" or e.g. "två pardoktorander".

Instead, I suppose "pardoktorand" refers to one such student, i.e. a doctoral student who works in a pair, together with another student.

Sorry, I just now noticed that Donald has already suggested "paired doctoral student".

two answers came at the same time; so the points should be split. But that isn't possible. So they are being shared in a different way.

  -> Thank you, Deane!
neutral  Agneta Pallinder: But this refers to doctoral students in the same subject, one US, one UK being "paired", whereas the Swedish reference is to students in different subjects in the same uni working on the same PhD topic from their different perspectives.

This leads to a .pdf from a transdisciplinary seminar in Sweden where they use the term "paired PhD projects" in a context that seems to be the right one for Charles' question. OK so its Swedes providing the SV-EN translation, but why not?
