3.We also invite applications from social sciences who can demonstrate experience in working with design and implementation of innovative systems

These might be illness, parental leave, union duties, or similar. Candidates should have a record of recent published research in top ranked conferences or journals
Employees will be based at the Mobile Life VINN Excellence Centre in Stockholm, a research centre formed in 2007 that has established itself as an internationally recognized research locus in the area of mobile and Internet of Things-research.
