DTU has recently welcomed 20 highly talented researchers who have been granted a H.C. Ørsted COFUND postdoc fellowship. The 20 researchers come from all over the world and will spend the next two years at the University advancing their scientific career.
The original H.C. Ørsted postdoc programme was launched in 2004 and given to young, talented researchers from abroad. Co-funding by the European Union’s Marie Curie Actions has enabled DTU to double both the number and the duration of granted fellowships in 2014.
No fewer than 157 applicants applied. After a thorough review process, where the applications were subjected to external international peer review based on a set of predefined criteria, DTU has selected 20 promising researchers who have shown great potential in their respective field of research. The fellows represent 14 different nationalities, and will carry out research within an extensive range of academic fields.
Call for H.C. Ørsted COFUND postdoc 2015
The call for next year’s H.C. Ørsted COFUND postdoc programme was announced on 1 December. Application deadline is 23 February 2015, and the final selection is scheduled for early summer. For more information on how to apply, please visit www.dtu.dk/COFUNDpostdoc
