16 NAD PHD FELLOWSHIPS IN NEUROSCIENCE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neuroscience Academy Denmark (NAD) will recruit 16 excellent, highly motivated
PhD Fellows to join a newly established neuroscience academy and PhD program to
be launched the 1st of January 2023. The candidates should be 16 talented
students eager to pursue a career in basic or clinical neuroscience research,
and with the ambition to excel.

NAD is funded by the Danish Lundbeck Foundation and is a nationally concerted
effort involving the neuroscience research environments at the medical faculties
of Aalborg University, Aarhus University, University of Copenhagen, and The
University of Southern Denmark involved in both preclinical and clinical
research.

The vision of NAD is to bring training and education in neuroscience in Denmark
to the highest international level, to ensure interdisciplinarity, high-quality
teaching and training to educate Danish and international PhD students.

The successful applicants will first be hired as research assistants for 1 year.
Provided that you obtain a positive assessment by the end of the pre-PhD year,
acceptance of your PhD study plan, and enrolment at one of the participating
graduate schools (i.e., PhD schools), the candidates will proceed to a 3-year
PhD fellowship employment.

ONLINE APPLICATION FORM

Application Deadline August 22, 2022


PROGRAM PRESENTATION



During your first year as research assistant (i.e., during the pre-PhD period),
you will perform laboratory work and attend courses in neuroscience. You will
also be invited for networking and career events. Go to NAD’s website to get
familiar with the opportunities (laboratories and potential supervisors) that
NAD and neuroscience in Denmark offer.


3 X LAB ROTATIONS



During the pre-PhD period, you will take part in a mandatory laboratory rotation
program in 3 NAD laboratories (basic and/or clinical). The labs are located at
different geographical locations (in Denmark), and you must be prepared to
travel to and stay at the different sites in Denmark for 10 weeks at a time.
During each lab rotation, you will be included in the research group and be part
of its research activities, journal clubs etc. You will be introduced to the
labs’ primary research focus areas and techniques. In parallel, you will join
neuroscience courses offered by NAD. By the end of each lab rotation, you must
prepare a report and presentation of your laboratory experience that you will
present to the other NAD fellows. As a NAD Pre-PhD fellow, you will plan your
lab rotations together with NAD.

Half-way through your third and final lab rotation, you must have identified
your preferred NAD lab/supervisor and NAD co-supervisor that together will match
your research interests. Together with your supervisor and co-supervisor, you
will formulate a PhD project and a study plan, which will have to be approved by
the NAD office.
The conditions for proceeding to a 3-year PhD fellowship are 1) a satisfactory
completion of the pre-PhD year, where the evaluation criteria are active
participation in courses and rotations, approved lab reports and presentations,
2) approval of your PhD research plan by NAD’s Scientific Board, and 3)
enrolment at a graduate school at one of the Health Faculties at one of the four
participating universities.

The overall aim of the pre-PhD year is to strengthen your knowledge and basic
understanding of neuroscience. NAD will offer workshops, seminars, symposia, and
high-level courses in all areas of relevance for neuroscience research. You will
be introduced to various techniques, methodological approaches, and viewpoints
that you may use and combine to create your own PhD research plan.

Once enrolled at the relevant Health Graduate School at one of the participating
universities, you will report to your supervisor(s) in the lab(s) where you will
do your PhD thesis work.

During the 3 years as PhD Student, you must carry out your PhD research project,
be actively involved in your research lab and take courses offered by your
graduate school corresponding to 30 ECTS. In addition, NAD will offer several
activities and events where you will be expected to participate. Here, you will
get the chance to network with other PhD fellows, postdocs, and scientists from
the Danish neuroscience environment, take part in NAD’s mentor program and join
career events.


RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS DURING 3 YEARS AS PHD FELLOW


 * Carry out an independent research project under supervision
 * Complete PhD courses corresponding to 30 ECTS
 * Participate in active research environments, including a stay at another
   research institution, preferably abroad

 * Follow rules of the individual department and graduate school.


CANDIDATE PROFILE



You are expected to hold a MSc/MD in, e.g., neuroscience, medicine, molecular
biomedicine, biology, biochemistry, pharmacy, engineering, etc.

All interested candidates with a background in neuroscience are encouraged to
apply. At the time of entry to the NAD program, it is a prerequisite and an
indispensable condition that you must qualify for formal enrolment as a PhD

participating Danish universities. To qualify for the program including for
employment, you must at the time of application hold a Danish master’s degree,
or a master’s degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (120 ECTS). Note
that for international applicants, we might send your master’s degree to be
assessed at the Danish Ministry of Education and Research, where it will be
determined whether your degree is equivalent to a Danish master’s degree. Only
candidates at the required level will be considered.

To be considered for the NAD program you should:

 * Have a curious mindset and a genuine and heartfelt interest in neuroscience
 * Be organized, self-motivated, result-oriented, and capable of working
   independently
