The Swedish Cancer Society, organization number 802005-3370, 101 55 Stockholm, is the body responsible for the collection and processing of personal data in connection with grant applications.
The Swedish Cancer Society has a digitized grant application system called Fenix. Fenix uses BankID and Swedish social security numbers for both identification and signing. The application is signed digitally by both the Head of Department and the applicant directly in Fenix. Applicants sign the application last, i.e. after the Head of Department has signed.
Note that if you make changes to the application after sending it to the Head of Department for signing, you must send a new request for signing by your Head of Department, as the application has changed. This applies regardless of what changes have been made.
To benefit cancer research by recruiting able, younger researchers to the field. To promote the researcher's development, the Swedish Cancer Society would prefer the postdoctoral program to take place at a different institution and with a different supervisor than during the graduate research program.
The intention is that research should be conducted in Sweden.
The Swedish Cancer Society pays research grants only to Swedish universities and higher educational institutions.
The applicant must have completed a doctoral degree (Swedish or foreign) after 1 July 2019 (i.e. no more than 3 years ago) but before the application deadline.
The following exceptions must have taken place after the award of the doctoral degree. Complete your request in the application system.
Certificates from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency must not contain personal data for children.
Grants for Postdoctoral Positions are granted for a maximum of three years. The grant period can begin between 1st July of the same year in which the decision is made and up to and including 1st January of the year following the decision.
Regardless of the choice of start date, the contract starts from July 1st . Payments are made quarterly, and the first payment is made in September and is retroactive from 1st July the same year as the decision is made.
When awarding grants for Postdoctoral Positions, the Swedish Cancer Society assumes that the holder will be working full time within the project. The grant can be combined with a maximum of 20% secondary employment, for example clinical employment.
This is calculated in accordance with the current salary standard from the Swedish Cancer Society's research committee. The salary standard is adjusted annually.
The grant is calculated on the current salary standard, holiday pay (1.3%) and salary fees (51.7%) plus the managing institution's deductions for indirect costs (15.25%).
The grant holder's actual salary is determined by the employer.
It is a requirement of The Swedish Cancer Society that the entire grant be used to finance the position. The grant from the Swedish Cancer Society may not be used as project funds or for another person's salary.
