Are you looking for a postdoc position?
APECS’ new partner and host of the Directorate, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway is looking for postdoctoral candidates who wishto seek funding through EU's career and mobility program Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) with UiT The Arctic University of Norway as host.
