The distribution between project-based doctoral and postdoctoral positions is determined by search pressure and is measured as a percentage of the number of applications received. The places are established by the dean following proposals from the institutes and following prioritization by a joint academy assessment committee. This round, the faculty can finance a total of nine projects. In accordance with the assessment committee’s proposal, the following six project leaders will each receive a project-related PhD position (in alphabetical order): Andrei S Chagin, Anetta Härtlova, Erik Larsson Lekholm. Ana S. Luis, Volkan Sayin and Johan Zelano. These three applicants are granted project-based postdoctoral positions (in alphabetical order): Elias Eriksson, Michael Schöll and Åsa Tivesten.
