A background screening must be conducted if the candidate does not hold citizenship in one of the pre-approved countries (all EU countries, the United Kingdom, the United States, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Iceland, and Liechtenstein).
This applies, among other situations, to recruitment, PhD scholarships, and guest visits. Changes between research environments may also lead to a background screening.
Background screening of guests and interns
Background screening of guests and interns is not supported by the recruitment system.
Please contact the secretariat (Helle Elbæk, hea@mpe.au.dk), who can help guide you through the process described here.
