In Sweden, there are two types of income for postdocs: scholarship (also known as a stipend) or salary.​  You should be aware of their differences and discuss these thoroughly with your PI. 

Scholarships for postdoctoral studies may be granted to persons residing in other countries who come to Sweden with the intention of staying in Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral education at KI. Swedish residents and/or have completed full or part of their academic education at KI or any other university in Sweden cannot qualify for a scholarship from KI. Scholarships/stipends have different conditions than salaries:

• Stipend holders are not considered as ‘employed’ by KI. 

• PIs can only hire postdocs on a stipend for a maximum of two years. 

• The stipend period can be extended if the postdoc is paid from an external source (e.g. a fellowship from a research charity or council). 

• After the maximum postdoc stipend period, postdocs can be employed on a salary (if the group has the financial resources). 

The KI website includes more information on different types of scholarships.
