Lund University is allocating up to SEK 100 million to a university-wide initiative for excellence at Lund University focusing on Agenda 2030 and sustainable development. One part of this sum has been used for a new investment in doctoral studentships in the Agenda 2030 graduate school and the other part for a university-wide call for applications for postdoc fellowships in interdisciplinary projects during spring 2021.
Now, a second call for applications is being launched for projects with postdoctoral and associate senior lectureship positions. The aim of the initiative is that Lund University shall achieve international excellence in the field of research. By both expanding the Agenda 2030 Graduate School with more doctoral students and simultaneously investing in a larger number of postdocs and associate senior lecturers in innovative interdisciplinary projects, Lund University expects to engage a broad, international configuration of researchers and ideas.
Lund University looks forward to receiving novel project applications by virtue of this breadth, which have the potential via a cluster of externally-funded projects to be developed into new top-class research environments.
