Working at UPSC

UPSC is a highly dynamic institute with around 200 employees, 30 principal investigators and about 10 associated principal investigators. Approximately half of our staff is non-Swedish and the working language is English. We recruit researchers from all over the world. More than 40 nations are represented at UPSC. Post-doctoral fellows have the most diverse nationalities, but also our PIs, graduate and undergraduate students represent many different nations.

Are you interested in joining us? There are currently no open job opportunities available but you are welcome to contact our principal investigators directly if you are interested in working with them.

Do you want to do a project or exam work at UPSC?

You can find more information about possible project or exam works (Master thesis) at the Umeå Plant Science Centre here:
