CARLSBERG FOUNDATION RESEARCH GRANTS┋REINTEGRATION FELLOWSHIPS
Reintegration fellowships are two-year postdoctoral fellowships at Danish research institutions for postdoctoral fellows subsequent to an internationalisation fellowship from the Carlsberg Foundation or another research stay abroad.
- CALL OPENS: 30 June 2024
- Deadline: 1 October 2024
- Amount: Salary and operating expenses
WHO?
These fellowships are awarded to postdoctoral fellows who wish to establish research activities in Denmark after a research stay abroad.
As a general rule, only applicants who are currently abroad are eligible to apply for this fellowship.
Applicants with more than five years’ experience since obtaining their PhD degree are not eligible. Any periods of leave will be accepted as extensions of this time limit (maternity leave, paternity leave, family care leave, illness, military service and so on). The exact PhD date must be specified in the CV.
Reintegration fellowships are only awarded to postdoctoral fellows with a strong connection to Danish research and a previous research stay abroad.
WHAT?
The Carlsberg Foundation covers the fellow’s full salary and operating expenses of DKK 5,000 per month.
Operating expenses are at the postdoctoral fellow’s disposal to cover conferences, study trips and such like, and cannot be used to cover overhead costs and administration fees.
Where there are special operating expenses related to the project, an additional DKK 60,000 can be applied for, provided that the expenses are specified in the budget form. These may include, but are not limited to, laboratory access or procurement of instruments or apparatus.
