Welcome to Junior Faculty

 

Junior Faculty is an organization for junior researchers at Uppsala University. A 'junior researcher' is a person with a PhD, but without a permanent position. Members are e.g. assistant professors, associate professors, 'post-docs' andother scientists without a permanent faculty position.

The overall aim of Junior Faculty is to promote the career of junior scientists. To further this goal, we frequently organize seminars on grant proposal writing, career development, and workshops such as the Creativity Day.

For more information please see our Activities page.
