Objective
The proposed HC Ørsted Postdoc Cofunded by Marie Curie Actions (COFUNDPostdocDTU) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) will build on the existing HC Ørsted Postdoc programme. Since 2005, this programme has awarded 10 annual postdoc positions of 12 months each (a total of 86 fellowships in 2012) to highly talented, recent PhD graduates based on incoming mobility.
COFUNDPostdocDTU is based on incoming mobility and is aiming to attract the most talented, Experienced Researcher postdoc candidates from all over the world to carry out curiosity-driven, bottom-up research projects within all branches of engineering science at DTU.
The new programme, COFUNDPostdocDTU, will increase the total programme budget to 9,190,883 EUR, the duration of the fellowships to 24 months, and the number of fellowships awarded each year to 14. During the COFUND period from 2014 to 2018, a total of 56 fellowships will be awarded resulting in an increase in the total budget from 670.000€ to 9.190.000€.
HC Ørsted Postdoc is part of the effort to implement DTU’s strategy for internationalization: to be recognized and respected globally as a leading technical university, to increase awareness of DTU’s strengths and facilities, and innovation capacity. DTU is a public, financially autonomous university, and conducts research in all engineering disciplines of the highest international standard.
HC Ørsted Postdoc will ensure transparency throughout the application and selection processes, provide uniform and equal access for all fellows to career development services and funding, and candidates will have full freedom to pursue their own research and career goals.
