Research Fellow
To become a research fellow, you must apply for an advertised scholarship . ‘Research fellow’ is an official job title with a salary determined by collective agreement, corresponding to other publicly employed professionals. The positions are advertised by University, funded either by Univeristy own research funds or external funding (or a combination thereof). All such positions are advertised at Jobs portal and usually also in other media. The majority of scholarships are advertised within specific fields, some within a relatively narrow research field.
As a research fellow, you are thus employed in a position , but you are also a student at univeristy, since you are enroled in the PhD programme. As an employee, you are provided with a workplace, and as a student, you are offered teaching and supervision. A scholarship usually includes an obligation to contribute to teaching at Univeristy. The employment period is three years, since the programme has a standard duration of three years.
Independent PhD Student
Since the number of scholarships is limited, some of Univeristy has opened for the possibility of becoming a PhD student as a so-called external or independent student. and must pay a tuition fee. The tuition fee can be funded personally or by an employer or another external funding provider. Independent students have no teaching obligations.
Industrial PhD Fellow
As an industrial PhD fellow, you are enroled at Univeristy as a PhD student, but are employed in a company or organisation. Thus, your salary is paid by another organisation and normally your workplace is in that organisation. You are expected to spend approximately 50% of your time in the company or organisation. Usually, you will be at University for longer periods of time, not least when you are taking courses and during intensive writing periods. Since you are not employed by Univeristy, you do not have any teaching obligations at University, but you do have a general obligation to communicate about your research.
To become an industrial PhD fellow you must be in contact with both a company and a doctoral school at Univeristy. Then you must apply to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education for funding of your salary (50% can be covered) and the tuition fee. |
