The Departments have state-of-the-art resources for molecular/cellular biology and microscopic techniques. The faculty has several relevant core facilities such as a transgenic production facility. Umea is a one hour flight from the capital Stockholm and the University has 29,000 students and as one of Scandinavia’s top research Universities it currently >150 awards PhDs per year. Umea is a young, vibrant and international city where a good knowledge of English is sufficient for every-day life (see also www.umu.se/international_office). These fellowships are initially intended for 2 years and the initial support is in the range 16 000 – 18 000 SEK/month in the form of a tax-free stipend.

Applicants must hold a PhD-degree at the start of the postdoc period in a relevant subject. A first name authorship in a peer-viewed international journal (listed by ISI) is in general considered as a minimum of research experience.
