BKV offers young researchers the opportunity to develop and qualify for a research career through a fellowship period in one of our research groups.

A postdoctoral fellowship may be awarded to foreign citizens with a doctoral degree or equivalent obtained in a country other than Sweden. The date of the doctoral degree must be no more than four years before the application deadline. The fellowship may be granted for a maximum of two years.

A postdoctoral fellowship is awarded to the fellow for the purpose of qualification and must not consist of a research collaboration with mutual exchange of methodological and technical knowledge. It must follow an established and approved qualification plan. For detailed information on the fellowship conditions, see "Information on postdoctoral fellowships" and "Decision on guidelines for fellowships" below.

Announcement and Amount

A fellowship is established by the head of department. The processing time for the establishment is approximately one week, after which the fellowship is announced for at least three weeks. The fellowship amount is SEK 28,500 per month for fellowships decided in 2025. The fellowship is tax-free, and no employer contributions are paid by LiU for the fellow.

Applicants and Decision

Applicants send their application to the personnel coordinator, and the allocation decision is made by the head of department.
