STINT International Postdoc

The STINT International Postdoc programme aims to enhance the quality of Swedish research and higher education by giving researchers who have recently obtained their PhDs the opportunity to pursue a postdoctoral research project at an institution abroad. Participating postdocs are offered the chance to experience new academic environments, become more independent and extend their international networks. The programme is aimed at researchers who have obtained their PhDs at higher education institutions in Sweden no more than two years before the application deadline, or who are scheduled to defend their PhDs within a year of the application deadline. The stay abroad should offer the postdoctoral researcher new experience from a higher education institution located outside the EU/EFTA/UK and cannot be spent in a country from which the stipend holder has a previous academic degree or citizenship. The individual stipend is SEK 1,000,000 for a postdoctoral stay at least one year in length. An additional contribution of SEK 100,000 per family member may be awarded for up to two accompanying family members, to a maximum total stipend amount of SEK 1.2 million.
