Wenner-Gren Fellow-stipendier för postdoktoral utbildning

The Wenner-Gren Fellow Scholarships are the foundations' most exclusive program, designed to give young researchers the opportunity to obtain qualified postdoctoral training abroad for 3 years and thereafter (after a renewed application process) conduct research in Sweden for 2 years. The tax-free fellowships provide comprehensive support including a stipend that varies depending on host country and family situation, travel costs to and from the foreign institution, and compensation for lost child benefits. After the fellowship period abroad, fellows can apply for funding for two years' salary as a researcher at a Swedish institution. If support is granted for employment in Sweden, the host institution receives an amount to cover salary costs for the fellow's research position. Additionally, the fellow receives a start-up grant of 600,000 SEK (excluding overhead costs) and the opportunity to apply for a stipend for a foreign postdoc at any time during the year.
