STINT International Postdoc

The STINT International Postdoc program aims to strengthen the quality of Swedish research and higher education by giving recently graduated researchers the opportunity to stay at a foreign host institution. This allows postdoctoral researchers to experience a different scientific environment, become more independent, and expand their international network. The program offers personal grants of 1,000,000 SEK for at least one year of postdoctoral residence. An accompanying grant of 100,000 SEK may be added for up to two accompanying persons, for a maximum grant amount of 1.2 million SEK. The program is available in two variants: STINT International Postdoc for outgoing postdocs and STINT International Postdoc in Sweden for incoming postdocs. For the outgoing variant, researchers must have obtained their doctoral degree at a Swedish university no more than two years before the application deadline, or have a planned doctoral examination within one year of the deadline. The postdoctoral stay must offer a new experience at an institution in a country outside the EU/EFTA (including the UK) and cannot be located in a country from which the grant recipient has a previous academic degree or citizenship.
