About Swedish Work Environment
Sweden is typically among the top 10 countries in the world's happiness index. The quality of life is high, with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Swedes speak excellent English. The Swedish working climate emphasizes a non-hierarchical atmosphere, with discussions involving both junior and senior staff. Spouses of employees are eligible for residence permits which allow them to work or study. Residence permit holders with sufficient contract lengths, including PhD students and their families, receive free healthcare after a small co-pay, just like Swedish citizens. Swedish employers, including Uppsala University, typically subsidize a number of recreational activities, such as gym membership.
About Uppsala
Uppsala is a university town with an active student-life. Uppsala is manageable in size yet offers all the amenities a large city offers.

Uppsala has been named Sweden’s most bicycle-friendly city for several years with many people commuting with bike even in the coldest days of the winter. Many Swedes choose to live in Uppsala and commute to Stockholm. From Uppsala, one can reach Arlanda international airport (the largest airport of Sweden) with a 20-min train ride and Stockholm (the largest city of Sweden) with a 40-min train ride.
