The visiting scientist programme at NIOM
The purpose of NIOM's visiting scientist programme is to enhance Nordic collaboration on biomaterials research. NIOM funds positions available for periods between 3 and 6 months. Scientists working in the Nordic countries, with documented education and/or research experience, are welcome to apply. PhD students and young scientists affiliated with a Nordic institution are especially encouraged to apply.

After admission, your research project is planned together with one or more experts at NIOM, who also serve as supervising resources during your stay and when preparing your manuscript prior to publication. If you have a supervisor at your own university, the added NIOM supervisor brings special competence or assistance with methods not available within your own organisation.
