Sverker Lerheden fellowships for postdoctoral studies

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 January-February of each year award 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 call each year opens in October-November. The application can be written in Swedish or in English.

The postdoctoral studies at Stockholm University should 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.

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