Call announcement for funding of Pair-Linked Postdoc Positions

Wallenberg Centre of Molecular and Translational Medicine (WCMTM) is a research center at the University of Gothenburg in cooperation with Region Västra Götaland and AstraZeneca. The close interaction between the partners has ensured that researchers from basic research disciplines meet with clinically oriented researchers for a truly translational focus.
WCMTM is now launching a so called “Pair-Linked Postdoc” call, with the aim to further strengthen the connection between experimental and clinical research in Gothenburg. In this call, two principal investigators (PIs) are invited to jointly apply for funding to employ one pre-clinically oriented postdoc and one clinically oriented postdoc. The suggested project must combine preclinical and clinical research within any of WCMTM’s research areas fields of metabolism, neuroscience, cancer, inflammation, degenerative diseases, genomics, bioinformatics or life science chemistry. The use of SciLifeLabs research infrastructures in the suggested project is also encouraged. PIs from different faculties/institutes/departments or industry are eligible to apply. At least one of the responsible PIs must be employed at the University of Gothenburg and both PIs must be active within Västra Götaland.
The funding will cover expenses for employing two postdocs á two years with a possible extension of one year (maximum of three years in total per postdoc) per project. A total of up to four projects will be granted in the call.

Deadline for submission of the joint application is February 15, 2022.
