About us
The overall aim of Junior Faculty is to promote the careers 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:
- May 21, 12:15-13:30
- June 11, 12:15-13:30
You can find our Description of Organisation (eng) pdf, 112 kB. (Organisationsbeskrivning) here. A Swedish translation is in progress.
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 to discuss further. We ask new members to attend two Steering Group meetings before deciding whether to officially join the Steering Group.
