Four (4) Postdoctoral Fellowships in Diabetes Research, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden (2016)

Novo Nordisk is funding a prestigious fellowship programme at Karolinska Institutet for basic science postdoctoral researchers. The programme is focused on research in diabetes and its comorbidities, endocrinology and metabolism. It aims to support the development of a new generation of exceptional young early career diabetes researchers, who will become future leaders in the field, while further developing scientific excellence within diabetes and ultimately improving the lives of patients. As part of this programme, we are looking to recruit 4 outstanding postdoctoral researchers.

Based at Karolinska Institutet, Fellows will undertake in a cutting edge research project, mentored by world-leading researchers in the field of diabetes. In addition, it is anticipated that during the course of the fellowship, fellows will have the opportunity to spend approximately 3 months in the research laboratories at Novo Nordisk in Copenhagen. Thus, Fellows will gain insight into research conducted in both academia and industry. In order to increase coherence around the Fellowship programme, a number of events will be held throughout the year such as high profile lectures, symposia, etc. which the fellows will attend, both at Karolinska Institutet and at Novo Nordisk in Copenhagen.

The fellowships are fully funded for a 3 year period and it is our intention that the fellowships will start in the autumn of 2016, though some flexibility with the start date might be possible.
