There is no fixed profile for a CELL Education Fellow but the potential quality of their contribution must be at a sufficiently high level that befits a centre of educational excellence. The awarding of the status is directed primarily at academic staff, whether in Norway or abroad, and regardless of discipline. It also directed at all types of academic positions, including professors, associate professors, lecturers, researchers, postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D fellows. It also includes administrative staff that can make a substantive contribution that meets the above criteria.

Application Process

The process of becoming a CELL Fellow is decentralised, given the focus on expanding CELL’s competence and integrating contributors.

Leaders of CELL projects can submit a name of a candidate to the CELL leadership team, through this web-based portal.
