TMF Starting Grant
Main content
The Trond Mohn Research Foundation (TMF) Starting Grant programme aims to assist the University of Bergen (UiB) in recruiting young international or national candidates with outstanding academic merit and research potential. The call is announced every year and is open to researchers under the age of 40, from all research disciplines. The successful candidates receive support for research and career developing activities over four years.The Department can invite one candidate each year.
The research background of the invited candidate should be within an area that is prioritized in the department's and university's strategies, and where the university foresees recruitment needs within the next four to five years. Normally, 3-4 candidates are funded at UiB ever year.
