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.
A complementary training programme in both technical and soft skills.
The educational framework is designed to ensure a successful career: 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.
ICIQ provides a personalized annual training program for PhD students called SHARP (Severo Ochoa PhD Training Program), which occurs over two weeks each academic year, and focuses on their specific PhD year.
Opportunities for short stays in distinguished international research institutions.
The programme is addressed to highly qualified, motivated and talented graduate students with a strong interest in research in Chemistry or related fields.
Candidates should have an excellent academic record, a deep commitment to scientific research and a solid working knowledge of English.
