Recruitment: Sweden looks abroad

Government grant leads to hiring drive for international scientists.

The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, is seeking scientists in four human-health research areas after receiving 522 million kronor (US$78 million) from the Swedish Research Council towards international hiring. The institute has already recruited four top scientists: two from the United States, one from the University of Oxford, UK, and one from Singapore. It is hiring researchers at all career stages to work in four centres that will study eating disorders, cancer, stem cells and regenerative medicine, and psychiatric genomics. Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren, Karolinska's dean of research, says that the institute aims to expand and establish a stronger global presence. Birgitta Henriques-Normark, vice-dean for recruitment, is developing a strategic plan for hiring.
