Dear Colleagues

At the moment there are openings for excellent young scientists in Sweden through a very well funded program named Wallenber Academy Fellows, see below for a link to a Swedish announcement. Therefore if you have any very good candidates with a PhD awarded between 2004 and 2007 and that have a serious interest to move to Sweden and work in an area related to ours, I would very much appreciate if you forwarded this mail to them.

The application procedure is two steps. First the department can nominate candidates to the head of the university with a deadline of  Dec 3 and then the university will select up to 10 candidates (of which 40% needs to be external). These will then have until Feb 29 to write the application. The grant is for 5 years and between 1 and and 1.5 MSEK (110-165 kEuro) per year and in addition the university will guarantee 50% of the salary and provide some sort of tenure track.


Here is the link (in Swedish)
