Purpose

The purpose of Reintegration Fellowships is to provide two-year postdoctoral fellowships at Danish research institutions for postdoctoral fellows returning from research stays abroad.

Who?

The applicant must be a postdoctoral fellow who has obtained a PhD degree from a Danish research institution and has demonstrated a strong connection to Danish research.

Assistant professors are not eligible to apply for this type of grant.

As a general rule, only applicants who are abroad at the time of the application deadline are eligible to apply for this fellowship. 

Applicants who, at the time of the application deadline, have 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 (parental leave, family care leave, illness, military service, etc.).

What?

The Carlsberg Foundation provides funding for the fellow’s full salary plus operating expenses of DKK 8,000 per month. 

The operating expenses are at the postdoctoral fellow’s disposal to cover conferences, study trips, etc. and cannot be used to cover overhead costs, administration fees, or other costs to be covered by the project supplement.

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 expenses may include, but are not limited to, laboratory access or procurement of instruments or apparatus. 

Application requirements

The application must be submitted through the CF-Grant application system.

The application must be written in English.

Applications that do not meet the specified formal requirements will not be considered for assessment and will be rejected on administrative grounds.

The submission of documents other than those specified below will also result in rejection on administrative grounds.

The selection of the wrong type of grant in CF-Grant will likewise result in rejection on administrative grounds.

The documents must be uploaded in PDF format.
