Call: Postdoc fellowships funded by Kempe

    20 December 2023

    The Kempe Foundations have approved an application from KBC to finance postdoc fellowships intended to stimulate research interactions between different departments and research groups within KBC. Applications are invited for four (4) postdoc stipends of 350 kSEK/year for a period of two years plus a grant of 150 kSEK/postdoc/year for running costs.

    Eligible to apply

    The applications should involve at least two principal investigators (PIs), where both are employed at separate departments or centres which both are members of KBC. These departments/centres are: Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics (UmU), Molecular Biology (UmU), Umeå Centre for Molecular Medicine (UmU), Chemistry (UmU), Ecology and Environmental Science (UmU), Plant Physiology (UmU), Applied Physics and Electronics (TEC-lab) (UmU), Physics (UmU), Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology (SLU), Forest Biomaterials and Technology (SLU) and Forest Ecology and Management (SLU). Note that each researcher can expect only ONE grant from this call and that PIs with an ongoing postdoc grant from KBC are not eligible to apply.

    The selected projects need to start within one year from when the decision was made by the Kempe Foundations. Therefore, the name of the postdoc who will receive the stipend must be reported to the Kempe Foundations no later than November 21st, 2024.

    The deadline for submitting the application as a single pdf-file to info.kbc@umu.se is 15 February 2024, at 2 pm (kl. 14.00)
