FCT and LIP, an associated research unit of Técnico, agreed to promote a PhD grant program in high energy physics and related scientific and technological domains relevant for the Portuguese participation at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) and/or the corresponding transfer of knowledge to society.
Two domains will be considered:
1) Particle and Astroparticle Physics and associated scientific domains;
2) Technologies associated to the Portuguese participation at CERN and their transfer to society.
The maximum number of grants to be awarded in the present call will be nine, six with priority in the first domain and three with priority in the second domain. The granting of the scholarship will depend on the reception of all required documents and is subject to the availability of FCT funding.
Candidates who have previously received an identical type of FCT-funded fellowship or have been selected for a PhD grant in an FCT PhD Programme are not eligible.
This program is part of the IDPASC Doctoral Programme in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology.
- Grant Recipients:
PhD studentships will be granted to applicants that fulfil the requirements to join a study cycle towards a PhD degree, and wish to develop research work in high energy physics or related domains at a Portuguese University, hosted at LIP or at any national R&D centre with a protocol previously established with LIP under the Portugal – CERN PhD Grants Program. These grants will be supervised by a researcher designated by the host institution and may be co-supervised by researchers from other institutions. In any case it is mandatory that one of the supervisors has a formal link to a Portuguese University granting the academic degree and, in case of mixed grants, one of the co-supervisors must have a link to the foreign host institution. - The grants may be “national” or “mixed” grants, depending on whether the work programme is carried out totally or partially at national institutions.
Students may submit applications from 29th March to 10th May 2021, 17:00 (Lisbon time).
