About this opportunity

This international postdoctoral grant aims to give recently 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 postdoctoral fellowship provides funding for 18-36 months to conduct research at a foreign host institution while maintaining employment at a Swedish institution. The grant includes a standard amount of 1,300,000 SEK per year for salary, housing during the stay abroad, and cost-of-living adjustments according to URA rules or equivalent costs. An additional 50,000 SEK per year can be requested for accompanying family members (partner and minor children). Up to 150,000 SEK per year may be used for research-related costs such as equipment, consumables, and publication costs.
