Return Fellowships from Novo Nordisk Training and Research Programme (TRAP)
Many of the brightest Danish and Swedish PhDs and PostDocs are doing research abroad at some of the best universities in the world. Novo Nordisk would like to offer some of these scientists the opportunity to work at Novo Nordisk R&D facilities in Denmark.
A Return Fellowship enables 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. 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 DKK 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.
