Apply for Gullstrand positions – including prolonged Gullstrand
To create opportunities for research time for clinical researchers employed in all healthcare professions in Region Uppsala, the University Medical Board Executive Committee (Universitetssjukvårdsnämnden, USN) has decided to announce Gullstrand positions. The positions are grants for employment for clinical researchers in Region Uppsala.
The call is aimed at all healthcare professions. To be eligible, you must be employed by Region Uppsala for at least half-time and have a doctoral degree. You must have an ongoing significant research activity documented in several scientific publications and a research programme with an independent profile. You are not eligible to apply if you have a combined position as a senior lecturer/associate professor at the time of application.
The USN has also decided to announce prolonged Gullstrand positions, which you can apply for if you hold a Gullstrand position ending in 2024 or have held such a position ending in the last five years. Those who ended their Gullstrand positions prematurely during this period to switch to adjunct positions as senior lecturers, associate professors, or professors may also apply.
The application is made electronically and assessed by external experts and a working group appointed by the USN. A decision on who will be offered grants is expected in September 2024.
