WASP-HS Postdoctoral Scholarships on AI, Humanity, and Society at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with SERC
Application deadline: 15 November 2024
WASP-HS invites applications for postdoctoral scholarships, which would begin in the fall of 2025. The goal of the scholarship program is to provide postdoctoral fellows with the opportunity to grow into independent investigators, experience new research environments, and expand their international networks. These scholarships enable promising researchers who have recently obtained their doctorates at a Swedish university to spend one to two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Successful applicants will be affiliated with MIT’s Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) and a suitable host department at MIT. Postdoctoral fellows are eligible for repatriation support upon arrival back in Sweden.
We welcome applicants from all disciplines!
