Description
The Novo Nordisk Foundation supports three-year postdoctoral fellowships in collaboration with research groups at the University of Oxford. The programme funds fundamental studies and innovative projects across natural and technical sciences, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Projects must be interdisciplinary, and applicants must clearly explain their potential applications for human health or sustainability.
Fellows spend the first two years at Oxford, followed by a return phase at a Danish university or other Danish public or non-profit research institution. The programme aims to advance early-stage researchers’ careers through international research experience and training, strengthen scientific independence and networks, and sustain collaboration and knowledge transfer between Oxford and the Danish research ecosystem.
