In the beginning of your research career? Become an Arctic Six Fellow! Apply before 21 March 2025.
If you are a doctoral student with at least two years of doctoral studies or an early career researcher, you can apply for the two-year Arctic Six Fellow Programme. As an Arctic Six Fellow from Umeå University, you will be granted a funding of up to SEK 50 000 for guest research at one or several Arctic Six universities. Deadline for application is 21 March 2025.
As an Arctic Six Fellow you will have the opportunity to develop your network within Arctic research and education to build a foundation for a career within The Arctic Six. The overarching aim of the programme is to secure external funding to the Arctic Six universities, and in this way, help meet the goals of finding research-based solutions to joint problems facing our societies in the Arctic.
There are two different categories of Arctic Six Fellows:
Junior Arctic Six Fellow: PhD student who is at least two years into their PhD research, and registered to an Arctic Six University.
Senior Arctic Six Fellow: postdoctoral graduate who is 1–4 years into their research career, and employed or affiliated to an Arctic Six University.
To be accepted as an Arctic Six Fellow, you should belong to one of the universities within The Arctic Six. The project that you apply with should already be a part of your academic work or build on that academic work. The project should aim at advancing and spreading knowledge, developing education, and creating innovations for the advancement of sustainability in this Arctic region.
The Arctic Six is a partnership between Luleå University of Technology, Umeå University, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Nord University, the University of Lapland, and the University of Oulu, and together we aim to lead the way on Arctic issues. Through this alliance we advance and share knowledge, develop education, undertake research and create innovations for the development of our region and a sustainable Arctic.
