IceLab Excellence Center Network

Interested researchers can apply to join the IceLab Excellence Center Network.

We offer an arena for realizing interdisciplinary collaborative projects on modeling adaptive mechanisms in living systems under stress. As part of the IceLab Excellence Center Network, researchers gain access to IceLab’s vibrant research network of PhDs, postdoctoral fellows, and PIs. We cover travel costs and provide accommodation in Umeå for one week to several months.

Additionally, we fund travel for Stress Response Modeling at IceLab members, particularly graduate research students, to visit other institutions or attend training opportunities that connect with our theme of modeling adaptive mechanisms in living systems under stress. 

We will choose researchers based on their proposed research’s alignment with the Center’s theme, commitment to establishing long-term collaborations with center members, and willingness to participate in the Center’s activities. We aim to host diverse guest researchers representing various career stages, disciplines, and collaborative potential. We value diversity, equity, and contributing to an inclusive work and learning environment.

In order to be considered, prospective fellows wishing to come to Umeå must name a researcher within Umeå University or SLU that has agreed to host them and with whom there is collaborative potential. If this researcher is not affiliated with IceLab, then also name one IceLab researcher or affiliated researcher who has agreed beforehand to act as the IceLab host for the visit.
