The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation invites applicants for postdoctoral stipends at MIT/Broad. 

At the time the postdoc period starts, the applicants should have a doctor's degree from a Swedish University not older than 2 years after the dissertation date as well as a connection to a Swedish University or corresponding non-profit research organization. Scientific merit, adjusted to the applicant's age, will be an important factor in the assessment.

The applicant cannot be employed/Scholar at the intended host/University prior to the Wallenberg post-doc.

The Stipend cannot be combined with other stipends or positions.

The Stipend is for a period of up to two years of postdoctoral studies. The Stipend amounts to approximately USD 66,950 annually (the final amount will be set in accordance with the standard rate of each institution). For MIT a travel grant of USD 7,500 per year and an annual allowance for accompanying family members of USD 15,000 is also provided. For Broad an annual allowance for accompanying family members of USD 15,000 is provided. The allowance for accompanying family members must be applied for separately in a direct request to the Foundation.

The Fellows will also receive the MIT Affiliate/Broad Health Plan Insurance for post-docs. After each year during this period a progress report shall be prepared and sent to the Foundation.

Following the postdoctoral studies there is an opportunity to receive funding from the Wallenberg Foundation to support a research position at a Swedish university for up to two years if the Fellow cannot find another position. 

After each year during the whole period a progress report shall be prepared and sent to the Foundation.

A complete application should contain the applicant’s date of PhD dissertation, CV and include a list of publications, a short personal letter (max 1 A4 page or 3 500 characters incl. spaces) a brief description of the proposed research program and a description of the research profile of the intended host and supervisor (max 6 A4 pages, 21 000 characters incl. spaces). A letter of invitation from the intended host should be submitted with the application (Other appendices). If the applicant has not passed the doctorate exam at the time of the application, a letter from the supervising professor should be submitted, in which the actual date for the exam is stated (Other appendices). Each applicant should ensure that two separate letters of recommendation with comments on the research program are submitted with the e-application. Please note that a budget form is not required since the amount applied for is fixed. Submit instead a document, confirming if you intend to apply for the Accompanying family member allowance. 

The application shall be written in English.
