Academic Positions was founded in 2009 by John Galanis and Erik Björkander to fill a gap they saw in the Swedish academic recruitment market. Their goal was to make it easier for Swedish universities to find top academic talent by creating a job board dedicated to academic jobs. In the following years, they expanded to the rest of Scandinavia, Europe, and globally.
Academic Positions’ growth and development has always been driven by the simple idea that research matters. Talented researchers are key to achieving scientific excellence, which is why talent attraction needs to be a priority. By investing in talent attraction, our customers improve their recruitment odds so they can spend fewer resources on recruiting and focus on ensuring quality research output.
