Danish Data Science Academy (DDSA) invites applications for 10 three-year PhD fellowships of DKK 1,900,000 (+ 5% administrative costs) to visionary and creative-thinking young researchers who want to pursue their own research ideas in collaboration with a strong host environment at a Danish research institution.
We welcome applications from candidates eligible for a Danish PhD programme (the 3+5, 4+4 and 5+3 models). It is a requirement that the applicant has a well-defined project proposal as well as an agreement with a principal supervisor at a Danish university, and that the candidate will enroll to the relevant PhD School prior to December 15, 2025.
Applications can be in any research field within applied or theoretical data science aligning with the research scope to one, or both, of the DDSA funders, Novo Nordisk Foundation and VILLUM FONDEN.
We also welcome applications from candidates who applied for a PhD fellowship during the previous rounds of applications, but who did not receive a grant.
Please note that DDSA Fellowship does not fund industrial PhDs, offer co-funding or fund students already enrolled at a PhD School.
