👩‍🔬 Who is an independent researcher?

A guest researcher may be a visiting scholar, visiting research fellow, or PhD candidate who is hosted by a faculty, academic school, department, research centre, or research project at UiT for a limited period.

Guest researchers are not employed by UiT and are not enrolled as students at the university.

Access to IT services, buildings, laboratories, office space, and other facilities may be granted by the hosting faculty, academic school, or department, depending on the nature and duration of the visit.
