The Kempe Foundation ”Kempestiftelserna” in Sweden offers postdoctoral scholarships for researchers to come to IIASA from the following three northernmost Swedish universities:

• Luleå University of Technology
• Umeå University
• Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umeå

The scholarship aims to support researchers conducting research on topics closely related to IIASA's research agenda. Scholars can spend up to two years at IIASA. Administrative, computer and library support as well as other research-related resources are provided by IIASA.

The long-term goal of the visit is that the incumbent should create a personal inter­­national network that will foster cooperation between IIASA and the home institution after end of stay.

• The applicant should be employed by Luleå University of Technology, Umeå University or the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umeå.
• Each scholar is required to provide credible deliverables at the end of the stay.
