The JCS Programme was aimed at researchers from Aarhus University with a distinguished track record in research, who intended to explore innovative, high-risk topics in their scientific research areas.
The JCS fellowships were available for researchers with a PhD, a minimum of two years of postdoctoral research experience, and with a tenured position/ in a tenure track position at Aarhus University.
A Jens Christian Skou Fellowship offered fellows the time and space to develop their research project, unrestricted by other obligations. The JCS Fellowship had a duration from 6 up to 12 months.
Jens Christian Skou (1918-2018)
The JCS fellowships were named after Aarhus University Professor Jens Christian Skou (1918-2018). Jens Christian Skou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1997 for his discovery of an enzyme. In 1957, Jens Christian Skou discovered the enzyme, Na+/K+-ATPase, that serves as a biological pump to transport ions (known as the sodium-potassium pump).
This fellowship has received funding from The Aarhus University Research Foundation (AUFF)
