University of Copenhagen PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowship

These PhD student and Postdoctoral fellowships are part of the Novo Nordisk Center for Basic Metabolic Research International PhD & Postdoc Program, found here.

These fellowships are aimed at early-career researchers with a basic science background or clinicians who aspire to a career in academia. We are particularly interested in candidates who are familiar with integrative research approaches within the broad area of basic cardiometabolic research with an application towards human pathophysiology.

The CBMR’s mission is to lead collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, thus transforming the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerating translation of scientific discovery into prevention practices and treatment strategies.

The thirteen research projects and their corresponding Principal Investigators as well as more information about each of these positions and how to apply, can be found at CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program website found below at the end of this listing.

Questions regarding this program should be directed to our Senior Advisor Sarah Christoffersen. International applicants can find more information on the International Staff Mobility webpage here. The deadline for applications is August 10, 2026. Fellowships are scheduled to commence on November 15, 2026.
