We invite you to check the second annual call for applications within Forte’s new international postdoc programme – a programme that aims to increase international researcher mobility and cross-border research collaboration. The programme offers grants to incoming and outgoing postdocs.

Programme description

The grants of this call are intended to enable researchers in Sweden to spend their postdoc period at a research institute abroad, and to enable researchers in other countries to do their postdoc at a research institute in Sweden.

The call is open to applications within Forte’s overall areas of responsibility: health, working life and welfare.

Types of grants:

International Postdoc – Incoming & Outgoing:

For both grants, fellowship covers two years. At least two thirds of the project time must be spent in the Sweden/ country chosen for the postdoc period.

To apply for any grant in this call you must have obtained a doctoral degree between 28 January 2019 and 28 January 2021. If you obtained your doctoral degree before 28 January 2019, you can deduct time for e.g. parental leave or illness.

For an incoming postdoc grant you are not eligible if you have carried out a majority of your main occupation (work, studies, etc) in Sweden for more than a total of 12 months during the last three-year period. Shorter periods, such as holidays, do not count.
