For students
PhD students are admitted first at their respective institutions, normally one of the eight partner university, and must then apply for an admission to NORBIS. The research topic of the PhD student should be within the fields covered by NORBIS; bioinformatics, biostatistics or systems biology. If non of your supervisors are NORBIS members, we appreciate if you encourage them to join us unless they are already a member.

For post docs
Post-docs working in fields related to those of NORBIS may sign up as post-doc members and enjoy the benefits of prioritised access, and the possibility to apply for partial funding, to join NORBIS courses and workshops. In return, NORBIS expects post-docs to agree to list your project and areas of expertise in a database at the NORBIS web page, and to thereby pose as potential mentors and advisors for our PhD student members.
