How to apply

 Who is a guest/independent researcher?

A guest/independent researcher and PhD student is defined as person who has been invited by Department, research centre or research project to teach, lecture, or perform research on a topic the visitor is valued for. And for a limited period.

Guest researchers are not employed by or paid any salary by UiT. Basically, a guest is not in any way formally registered at UiT and consequently UiT as institution has no responsibilities. This means initially that a guest does not have the right to access basic IT services (login to computers, e-mail account, storage of data, printing, etc), or access to buildings and laboratories. However, a faculty/department hosting a guest may approve and allocate rights. The Head of Department handles the administrative hosting, and in collaboration with the research unit, when necessary.

How to apply to become a guest researcher?

Usually, you will have the best chance to succeed in making a research visit, if you first establish direct contact with our researchers in your field. You can find links to research groups, projects, centres and schools on this website: Research at UiT | UiT
