Return Fellowships from Novo Nordisk Training and Research Programme
Many of the brightest Danish PhDs, postdocs and other scientists are working abroad at some of the best universities in the world. Novo Nordisk would like to offer some of these scientists the opportunity to return to Denmark for a post-doc position at Novo Nordisk R&D facilities.
A return fellowship will enable the postdoc to work for one to two years at Novo Nordisk on a project that combines the interests of Novo Nordisk with the expertise of the postdoc. The postdoc and a Novo Nordisk scientist must jointly prepare the application. If successful, the postdoc will be employed by Novo Nordisk.
Novo Nordisk Training and Research Programme will support each return fellow with a total of 750,000 Danish kroner that according to individual agreements shall cover salaries from one to two years including relocation expenses. Novo Nordisk departments, universities or other public sources may contribute to financing of, and thereby possibly extending, the Return Fellowship.
