Opportunities

The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) will train and recruit the next generation of data-driven life scientists and create strong and globally competitive computational and data science capabilities in Swedish life science.

The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) will train and recruit the next generation of data-driven life scientists and create strong and globally competitive computational and data science capabilities in Swedish life science.

With a total budget of 3.1 billion SEK (about 300Meuro, 350MUSD) over 12 years, generously donated by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation, the program will aim to recruit a total of 39 future research leaders as DDLS Fellows, more than 60 permanent advanced technical staff at national Data Science Nodes and the national Data Platform, establish a graduate school for 260 PhD students and create 210 postdoctoral positions in academia and industry.

If you are interested in joining us on this incredible journey you can find DDLS Fellow, PhD and postdoc positions, open calls, staff positions, and other DDLS related opportunities here. All positions will be at one of our eleven partner universities/organizations, Chalmers, GU, KI, KTH, LiU, LU, SLU, SU, UmU and UU) and the Swedish Museum of Natural History, spread out across Sweden.
