VISITING PHD FELLOW PROGRAM

Nordita's PhD Fellows visitor program is intended to offer selected PhD students the opportunity to spend time at Nordita and take advantage of the research environment and ongoing scientific activities at the institute and the AlbaNova University Center in Stockholm.

This can, in particular, include collaboration on research projects with Nordita academic staff and participation in Nordita Scientific Programs in areas of interest to the students, but should also be viewed as an opportunity to broaden their general knowledge and to interact with researchers working in diverse areas of modern theoretical physics.

Visiting PhD fellows may also be interested in taking PhD-level courses offered at the Universities in Stockholm area.

Requirements

The applicant must be registered elsewhere as a PhD student in one of the research areas covered by Nordita. The fellowship must be hosted by a Nordita academic staff at faculty or Postdoc level. The co-hosting by an external faculty from the greater Stockholm area is encouraged.

Host

Please make sure to contact your hosts well in advance and discuss the prospective research plan. Before an application is submitted, the host and the prospective PhD fellow should agree on the research plan along with the duration and dates of the visit.
