STINT's programme STINT International Postdoc is now open

    1 September 2023

    This programme aims to enhance the quality of Swedish research and higher education by enabling researchers who have recently obtained their doctorates to spend time at a host institution abroad. Postdoctoral researchers are thereby given the opportunity to experience different research environments, become more independent, and expand their international networks.

    The programme is open to researchers who have obtained their doctorates from Swedish higher education institutions no longer than two years before the application deadline, or who are scheduled to graduate within a year of the application deadline.

    The postdoctoral stay must offer a researcher new experience at an institution in a country outside the EU/EFTA (incl. the United Kingdom). The grant holder may not hold a university degree from or be a citizen of the host country.

    The STINT International Postdoc is a personal grant of SEK 1,000,000 for a postdoctoral stay abroad at least a year in duration. A family allowance of SEK 100,000 may be added for up to two family members, up to a maximum total grant of SEK 1.2 million.
    The project must commence the year after the application deadline and at the earliest on 1 July. The postdoctoral stay must be continuous and cannot be divided into several shorter periods.

    Applications are written in English and submitted through STINT's application system. The final result depends on a STINT decision.

    This call closes on September 15th 2023, at 15:00 (CEST).
