The call for FPU PhD positions form the Spanish Ministry of Universities has just opened. The fellowships will cover a four-year period, with conditions as specified in the Ministry call. This includes a competitive salary and full health insurance. Selected candidates will be included in IFT grants, which provide additional funds for scientific visits, attendance to advanced schools and workshops, and other training activities.
Candidates interested in pursuing a PhD at IFT are encouraged to apply, and to contact potential PhD advisors. IFT is an equal opportunity institution and candidates from underrepresented and traditionally disadvantaged backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Additionally, there is a number of fellowships which are specific for candidates with functional diversity.
