ITQB Bridge Fellowships

Oeiras, 09.03.2015

Applications are now open to the ITQB Bridge Fellowships. There are fifteen six-month fellowships available for students wishing to prepare their transition from Master to PhD in one of the research laboratories at ITQB. The deadline for applications is March 22.

With this initiative, ITQB is offering a head start to promising future researchers. Candidates considering a PhD at ITQB are invited to explore ITQB research areas and to contact the Heads of Laboratory in order to choose a lab where they would like to work. Together with the future supervisor, candidates must then write a short research plan, identifying the research topic and framing the work within the objectives of ITQB research areas. Successful fellows will be integrated in a vibrant research environment and will be encouraged to explore new ideas to be later developed during their PhD. See official announcement (edital) for details on the application procedure.

All interested students are encouraged to visit ITQB and talk directly with the researchers and other students during the Open Labs, which take place every Friday in March.

Receiving an ITQB bridge fellowship does not guarantee future acceptance or preference in any of the ITQB PhD Programs nor does it ensure attribution of a PhD fellowship by external funding agencies.
