fellowship Description:

Following a very generous donation, The Sverker Lerheden foundation was founded in 2022 with the purpose of strengthening research at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University.

The Sverker Lerheden foundation will in February 2026 award two stipends to young researchers in mathematics to conduct postdoctoral studies for two years at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University, with a possible extension of a third year.

The stipend is 424 200 SEK per year (which should also cover travel expenses to conferences). The stipend is tax-free. The stipend is meant to exclusively be used for research (and therefore does not require, nor gives the possibility, to teach).

Note that the applicant has to first contact a permanently employed researcher at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University to get a letter of support.

The call is open from October 1 to November 1, 2025. 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.
