About us
The overall aim of Junior Faculty is to promote the career of junior scientists. To further this goal, we organize activities such as grant writing workshops, career development seminars, and networking events. We also interact with the domains and faculties of Uppsala University and we are a member of National Junior Faculty, which includes all Junior/Future Faculty organizations from other Swedish universities and institutes.
We meet once a month via Zoom; the upcoming JF Steering Group meetings are:
- January 23rd, 12:15-13:30
- February 20th, 12:15-13:30
- March 20th, 12:15-13:30
- April 24th, 12:15-13:30
- May 22nd, 12:15-13:30
- June 12th. 12:15-13:30
Our Description of Organisation (Organisationsbeskrivning) is available in English Pdf, 61 kB. and in Swedish Pdf, 61 kB..
Junior Faculty receives financial support from all three Disciplinary Domains at Uppsala University - Science and Technology, Medicine and Pharmacy and Humanities and Social Sciences.
If you have questions, ideas or suggestions, or if you are interested in joining the Steering Group, please, contact us and we could discuss further. We usually ask the new members to participate to two Steering Group meetings before they decide if they want to officially be part of the Steering Group.
