Please notice that there are new templates for most mandatory application documents, so please make sure to use these updated templates.
All applications have to be submitted through our online application form. You find the application form at the page Open Calls.
The online form has to be filled out in one session. It cannot be saved and completed on a later date. It will however stay open for filling out as long as the browser window is open.
Below you can find some information on how to fill in the form.
When you access the application form, you need to choose the appropriate Graduate Programme (GP) – ClinFO (Departments of Clinical Medicine, Forensic Medicine and Dentistry), Biomedicine or Public Health.
Please choose the GP that reflects the department of your main supervisor.
There should be one main supervisor affiliated with the Research Year project, and preferably one or two co-supervisors.
Main supervisors must be employed at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University (minimum at assistant professor level) during the entire enrolment period.
Co-supervisors need to have a Master’s degree or higher, e.g. be a PhD student (except integrated PhD students on part A).
It is recommended to fill in the application form and all mandatory attachments in English.
See the list of mandatory attachments below. Please notice that your application will be administratively rejected if one or more mandatory attachments are missing from your application.
The maximum length of your project description is 10,000 characters (incl. spaces, but excl. references, figures, and tables).
The project description should include background, method and project plan (can be merged), time schedule for the project, perspectives, and your own contribution to the project (your part in the project).
You can include max. four tables or figures in the appendix following your project description. (None of them can be larger than a regular A4 page).
Please note that we reserve the right not to evaluate any part of your project description that exceeds the allowed number of characters and tables/figures.
In addition to the mandatory attachments you can upload any extra documents in the upload field "Other information to consider".
You can only upload one file - so if you want to include more documents, you need to combine the files into one PDF.
Attachments with links have forms which have to be used.

• Main supervisor statement (Word)
• Transcript of records (+ Bachelor's diploma if achieved)
