ÅFORSK 2026
About this scholarship
ÅFORSK supports research scholarships in Sweden, including postdoctoral opportunities such as the ÅFORSK-funded postdoc at Linköping University in communications electronics.
ÅFORSK is a Swedish research funding programme run by the ÅFORSK Foundation. It supports scientific and technical research, and in the reference posting provided it funds a postdoctoral scholarship at Linköping University in communications electronics.
The programme appears to support advanced research-based study or training rather than taught degrees. In the referenced opportunity, the scholarship is hosted in Sweden and focuses on communications electronics, electromagnetics, wireless engineering, engineering physics, and related applied physics areas. The postdoctoral project involves research on array antenna systems, MIMO and phased array design, and radar-related wireless sensing applications.
Based on the posting, ÅFORSK-funded opportunities may provide scholarship funding for a defined postdoctoral research project, but the exact financial package can vary by call and host institution. Specific details such as stipend level, duration, and additional benefits should be checked in the individual vacancy or award notice.
Eligibility in the cited postdoctoral call includes holding a PhD awarded by a university outside Sweden within the previous three years, subject to possible exceptions for special circumstances. The opportunity also requires strong subject-specific expertise and English proficiency. Applications are typically submitted through the host university’s recruitment or scholarship process rather than through a single central application portal for all ÅFORSK-supported positions.
If you are interested in ÅFORSK-funded opportunities, look for current calls at Swedish universities and research environments, especially in science and engineering fields, and follow the requirements stated in each individual posting.
