The Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Oxford is a three-year research fellowship for early-stage researchers in natural and technical sciences, biomedicine, or biotechnology. Fellows spend the first two years at the University of Oxford and a final return phase of up to one year at a Danish university or other Danish public or non-profit research institution. Projects must be interdisciplinary and have potential impact on human health or sustainability. The fellowship is administered by a Danish host institution which must employ the fellow for the entire grant period.

Applicants may apply as a PhD student if expected to graduate before the fellowship start date.
