The positions are offered in the scope of the FLIGHT Program, a MCSA-COFUND doctoral program explicitly focused on intersectoral research training in collaboration with Industrial or Clinical Partners.

Our PhD Fellowship Program welcomes applications from individuals with a degree in a field of mathematics, science, engineering or medical sciences related to the ICFO research activities.

Our PhD-program brings together top-level training and teaching for young scientists, benefiting from the extensive course offerings of local universities and focused instruction by ICFO professors, in a stimulating, international and interdisciplinary environment. PhD-students have the opportunity to take advantage of our network of excellence, consisting in partners of national and international research institutes and universities, as well as industrial partners in the field.

Recruited Fellows will have a choice of 3 PhD tracks:

  • Clinical to develop a project in collaboration with one of Clinical Partners
  • Industrial to develop a project in collaboration with one ofIndustrial Partners
  • Enhanced to develop a project with one of ICFO’s Research Groups

Fellows in the Industrial and Clinical tracks will be embedded in both organisations, undertaking secondments of 6-18 months at the Partner during their Fellowship.

Research projects in the Clinical and Industrial tracks on offer in this call are the following:

Clinical track:
