About this opportunity

The Swedish Research Council's International Postdoc grant aims to give newly graduated researchers with doctoral degrees from Swedish universities the opportunity to expand their network and competence by working abroad under secure employment conditions. The grant should also reward the quality and renewal of Swedish research. The funding provides support for postdoctoral researchers to conduct research abroad for 18-36 months with a base grant of 1,300,000 SEK per year, with an additional 50,000 SEK per year available for accompanying family members. Recipients must be employed by a Swedish institution during their stay abroad and must spend at least two-thirds of the grant period at a foreign host institution. The program is specifically designed for researchers who have obtained their doctorate from a Swedish university within the last 2 years or will complete their doctorate by June 30, 2026.
