Purpose

NOTE: guidelines updated 31 January 2023

In NORMA you find the call under the title Postdoctoral Fellowships for MIT, Stanford Bio-X, University of Oxford & Weizmann – 2023

The Novo Nordisk Foundation invites promising young, ambitious researchers to apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship at MIT in interdisciplinary research at the highest international level.

The fellowship offers an opportunity for promising young, ambitious researchers to carry out a research project in which about three years are dedicated to work at MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by about one year at a Danish university or other public or non-profit research institution.

MIT is one of the world’s leading universities in science and technology, with a strong tradition in education, cutting-edge research, and innovation. NNF wishes to fuel the career development of excellent early-stage researchers:

• By giving the awardee the opportunity to obtain research experience, training, and knowledge in a unique interdisciplinary environment at the highest international level, while also openly exchanging intellect and ideas with MIT peers.
• Through mobility, extending the awardee’s scientific networks and innovative spirit, fostering scientific independence.
• By associating the awardee to a Danish research institution throughout the project, thereby facilitating the return of the awardee from MIT, and his/her continued research career in the Danish research environment.

Fellowships within this programme are also offered with Stanford Bio-X, University of Oxford and Weizmann Institute of Science as the hosting institution.
