ICIQ Fully-Funded PhD Programme 2023 – SECOND CALL
Looking for an exciting PhD opportunity in one of the leading scientific research institutes? Come join us at ICIQ!
The Fully-Funded PhD Programme offered offered by The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is aimed at exceptional graduate students from all over the world, to support their enrolment in a training and research programme in the field of chemistry, ultimately leading to the completion of a Doctoral Thesis in partnership with the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV). The programme will also contribute to their professional career development, in the fields of academia and industry.
This objective is achieved by:
- The performance of an individual research project under the direction of an internationally renowned Group Leader, in a creative and stimulating scientific environment.
- Opportunities for short stays in distinguished international research institutions.
- Opportunities for complementary training in both technical and soft skills. Trainings are designed to ensure a successful career: weekly scientific seminars, hands-on training in the use of state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation, IP management, entrepreneurship, research integrity, knowledge and technology transfer, grant applications, project management, communication skills and career development.
The programme is addressed to highly qualified and talented graduate students with a keen interest in chemical research. Candidates should have an excellent academic record, strong commitment to scientific research and a solid working knowledge of English.
Admission to the programme is on a competitive basis.
Only one application per person will be considered. In case of multiple applications, only the first application submitted will be taken into consideration.
Please refer to the attached call document with detailed information on the available positions, the grant conditions, application documents and the fellowship eligibility criteria.
