Description
The Novo Nordisk Foundation offers three-year postdoctoral fellowships in collaboration with research groups at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The programme supports fundamental studies and innovative projects across natural and technical sciences, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Research must be interdisciplinary, with potential applications for human health or sustainability clearly explained in the proposal.
Fellows spend the first two years at MIT, followed by a return phase at a Danish university or other Danish public or non-profit research institution. The programme aims to advance early-career researchers through international research experience and interdisciplinary training. It promotes scientific independence, innovative thinking, and international networks, while supporting continued collaboration and knowledge transfer between MIT and the Danish research ecosystem.
