Apply for a Research Institute doctoral student!

Eight projects will be granted SEK 3.25 million each, where the grant will cover funds for research and postgraduate training for a doctoral student who is employed at a research institute, which collaborates with the academy. The grant runs for four to five years and must result in a doctoral degree.

The purpose of the call is to support excellent research within SSF’s fields of activity, to promote cross-fertilization between different sectors and to contribute to the training of strategically competitive PhDs.

The program is aimed at people who are not already accepted for a doctoral position.

The recipient of the grant must be at least 80 percent employed at the research institute during the entire grant period. There must be two well-qualified people supervising the doctoral student during the grant period, one at the university and one at the institute. The supervisor at the institute is an applicant and becomes the project manager for the approved project. Educational institutions and institutes must be active in Sweden.

The project must have a steering group consisting of at least the two supervisors. To strengthen the application, an extra supervisor can also be appointed at a collaborating company or clinic (if applicable).
