Here at Umeå University we are committed to providing a workplace that builds on respect and trust. We want the University to be a safe and stimulating environment for our employees. With us, you set the groundwork for a good work-life balance and we take pride in offering equal opportunities to all.
As an employee at Umeå University, you're offered a wide variety of benefits that promote a good work-life balance, including:
Doctoral students employed at Umeå University enjoy the same social benefits as other employees at the University.
The intellectual property rights of academic staff provide researchers and teachers at Swedish institutions of higher education with the right to the research output they produce at work. That gives you a unique opportunity to apply for patents for your results to sell the knowledge on, or to move forward as an entrepreneur yourself.
Your development is important to us. That's why Umeå University allows teachers to spend a certain percentage of their annual working hours on professional development. It's also important to us that you have the chance to successfully combine education and instruction with research.
