Fitness & Wellbeing
KI postdocs have access to employee support for mental and physical wellbeing, and a healthy work environment.
Sports facilities
All KI personnel have access to the two sports centres located at Solna and Flemingsberg campuses. After you receive your KI email ID you can find training and gym access via Health Hub.
Occupational health
In the event of a work-related health issue, contact KI occupational health service.
You are entitled to two free consultations with a specialist via Avonova Health Care Centres.
If you have a non-work related issue, contact your local vårdcentral. In case of an emergency, call 112. Also, visit our Healthcare services tab for detailed information.
Counselling
Professional counselling is offered via Falk Health Care. This service includes up to three counselling calls for work-related or private matters.
Support is given by social workers and if specialized guidance is needed additional calls with a psychologist or a legal/financial counsellor can be booked.
Conflict at work
The relationship between a postdoc and their PI is not always easy to manage.
It is important that you try to overcome potential issues early on. Your first action should always be to explain and discuss the problem(s) with your PI.
In more difficult cases, you might want to seek support from a neutral party before you take the first step. In that case, you can contact:
HR office within your department
A union representative (for members of a trade union).
While it is likely these contacts will not be able to take any direct action, they will be able to advise you and support you through your next steps.
