The Sverker Lerheden foundation will in January 2023 award at least two stipends to young researchers in mathematics to conduct postdoctoral studies for two years at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University. After two years, a fellowship holder can apply for a continuation of the fellowship for a third year.

The stipend is 396 000 SEK per year.

Note that the application should include a letter of support from a permanently employed researcher at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University.

The call is open from October 15 to November 15, 2022. The application can be written in Swedish or in English.

The postdoctoral studies at Stockholm University should normally begin the same year as the stipend was awarded.

The applicant does not need to have been awarded their PhD when applying, but needs to have done that before the fellowship is paid out.
