The Second Call of the COFUND Marie Skłodowska-Curie DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials (DOC-FAM) is open until 30th November. In this call, a total of 12 fellowships are available to Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) in order to conduct a PhD in one of the research centers involved in the programme, for a total of 36 months.

Deadline for application: November 30, 2018

.  The available research projects of this 2nd Call include projects at ICMAB-CSICIREC, ICN2ALBA Synchrotron and IMB-CNM-CSIC, within the following research topics:

  • Energy conversion & storage
  • Molecular and oxide electronics
  • Power applications
  • Nanostructured biomaterials
  • Information technologies

The project aims to attract 

excellent and talented young researchers

 in an extensive and dedicated training programme, which includes secondments, workshops, schools and non-research oriented skills. Each fellowship covers living and mobility allowances, PhD tuition fees and research, and training and networking costs. It is a great opportunity to start research projects in 

Excellent Research Centers in Materials Science

 in Barcelona. 

If you want to do a PhD in some of the most challenging areas of science, check the eligibility criteria, and apply now! The positions available are at 4 at ICMAB-CSIC, 2 at IREC, 2 at ICN2, 2 at ALBA Synchrotron and 2 at IMB-CNM-CSIC.

About DOC-FAM

DOC-FAM is an excellence DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials awarded to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in the H2020-MSCA-COFUND-2016 Call and coordinated through the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona in collaboration with several partner research institutions from the area, four of them contributing to the co-funding of the programme: the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research, the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute of the National Microelectronics Centre and ALBA Synchrotron. During the 60 months of duration of the programme, two calls will be launched for the recruitment of 22 Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) during 36 months each.

DOC-FAM has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 754397.
