DCA-DDEA - Cross-Academy PhD Scholarship

The Danish Cardiovascular Academy (DCA) and the Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy (DDEA) invite applications for three 2/3-financed DCA-DDEA Cross-Academy PhD scholarships of 1,100,000 DKK each (covering salary and tuition fee) over a period of two years.

The purpose of the scholarships is to strengthen the collaboration between cardiovascular research and research within diabetes, metabolism and endocrinology in Denmark. Applications must therefore be transdisciplinary across the fields of diabetes, metabolism or endocrinology and cardiovascular research.

With the DCA-DDEA PhD Scholarships, we further aim to:
- Promote interdisciplinarity and cross-sectoral research.
- Position Denmark at an international level within the fields of cardiometabolic research and diabetes, metabolism and classical endocrinology.
- Create viable networks and collaboration across disciplines and sectors.

The principal supervisor of the PhD project must be within cardiovascular research and, the co-supervisor must be within diabetes, metabolism or classical endocrinology.
