IceLab opens project call for shared postdoctoral fellows

Researchers working in teams of two or more are encouraged to submit innovative multidisciplinary project proposals as part of this funding call. The initiative aims to foster projects that leverage collaboration across different fields and research methods. Funding will be awarded to three projects, each receiving support for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship. These shared postdoctoral fellows, guided by multidisciplinary research teams from Umeå University or the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, will help turn innovative ideas into impactful research collaborations.

The Integrated Science Lab (IceLab) will host the selected fellows, providing an interdisciplinary environment where daily interactions with IceLab researchers fuel collaboration and discovery. IceLab fosters exploration across traditional disciplinary boundaries by integrating theoretical, computational, and empirical approaches. Supervising project teams will become IceLab affiliates and, when relevant, connect to Stress Response Modeling at IceLab, a Swedish Research Council-funded excellence center.

Information given during the IceLab Lunch Pitch February 12th

IceLab invites you to join an information meeting on the call on February 12th, in KBC Glasburen, during the first IceLab Lunch Pitch of the year (link to event). Martin Rosvall, Professor at the Department of Physics and director of IceLab, will encourage researchers to submit a project proposal and be available to answer any questions about the call. Register in advance if you are interested in attending.

The deadline to submit project proposals is May 19th. More information can be found on IceLab's website (link to information on the call).
