Postdoctoral Fellowship in Welfare Research at Umeå University, 2012 Sweden

Welfare research at the Department of Sociology constitutes one of the strong research environments at Umeå University. We now intend to strengthen our internationally leading research environment with at least one Post-doctoral fellow in the field. The employment as Post-doctoral fellow is limited to two years.

The candidate needs to hold a PhD degree, in Sociology or related disciplines, which is not older than three years at the final date of the application. Time on parental leave, sick leave or military service will not count against the three-year limit. Applicants who have previously held a postdoctoral fellowship in the same or a related field at Umeå University are not eligible.
