Reintegration Fellowships

Reintegration Fellowships are two-year postdoctoral fellowships hosted at Danish, Greenlandic, or Faroese research institutions for postdoctoral researchers returning from research stays abroad. The fellowship funds the fellow’s full salary and includes a monthly operating allowance; additional project-specific operating costs may be applied for. Projects must begin between 1 January 2027 and 1 September 2027. The scheme is intended for researchers who obtained their PhD from a Danish, Greenlandic, or Faroese research institution and who demonstrate a strong connection to Danish research.

Full salary for the fellow; monthly operating allowance of DKK 8,000; possible additional DKK 60,000 for specified project expenses (e.g., lab access, instruments); funding for conferences and study trips from operating expenses.

Applicants must be postdoctoral fellows who have obtained a PhD degree from a Danish, Greenlandic, or Faroese research institution, demonstrate a strong connection to Danish research, be abroad at the time of the application deadline, and have no more than 5 years of experience since obtaining their PhD (documented leaves may be deducted). Assistant professors are not eligible.

Apply via the Carlsberg Foundation online application portal (CF-Grant); submit project description, budget, CV, publications list, host institution declaration, recommendations and required appendices according to the guidelines.
