Job Description

The MIT-Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program invites visionary researchers to redefine what’s possible at the intersection of AI, data science, and the life sciences.

A collaboration between MIT’s School of Engineering and global healthcare company Novo Nordisk, the MIT-Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program accelerates discovery and translates breakthroughs into real-world impact — advancing the future of patient care.

The program is also part of the MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS), a cross-Institute effort that unites researchers across disciplines to advance transformative solutions in health care.

MIT-Novo Nordisk Fellows receive:

1. A salary between $71,000 and $90,000 annually, plus benefits.
2. Additional funding for travel, conferences, and research tools.
3. Personalized mentorship, career development workshops, and programming.
4. Access to MIT’s advanced research infrastructure, including state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge tools.
5. Connections with thought leaders in academia and industry.

The program offers more than postdoctoral support — it serves as a launchpad for researchers who want to redefine human health. 

MIT Novo Nordisk Fellows:

1. Pursue groundbreaking research across a wide range of disciplines, from AI-driven drug discovery to digital health platforms and emerging medical technologies.
2. Work closely with a faculty advisor who provides tailored mentorship and career guidance.
3. Collaborate with leading researchers across MIT’s five schools and the Schwarzman College of Computing.
4. Receive access to leading voices in health tech and biomedicine — including startup founders, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs — through workshops and events.
5. Join a collaborative community of peers across a range of disciplines and backgrounds, fostering lasting professional relationships and sparking new research collaborations.
