ICFO offers PhD-fellowship positions to well-qualified graduate students, who wish to obtain a doctoral degree in any of the research topics covered at ICFO. The positions are offered in the scope of the FLIGHT Program, a MCSA-COFUND doctoral program explicitly focused on intersectoral research training in collaboration with Industrial or Clinical Partners.
Our PhD Fellowship Program welcomes applications from individuals with a degree in a field of mathematics, science, engineering or medical sciences related to the ICFO research activities. Recruited Fellows will have a choice of 3 PhD tracks:
Clinical to develop a project in collaboration with one of Clinical Partners
Industrial to develop a project in collaboration with one of Industrial Partners
Enhanced to develop a project with one of ICFO’s Research Groups
Fellows in the Industrial and Clinical tracks will be embedded in both organisations, undertaking secondments of 6-18 months at the Partner during their Fellowship.
Research projects in the Clinical and Industrial tracks on offer in this call are the following:
Industrial track:
IT003: “New Methods and Protocols for Quantum Random Number Generation”. Prof. Dr. Maciej Lewenstein and Dr. Antonio Acín at ICFO and Dr. Gabriel Senno at QUSIDE.
IT004: “Development of detectors and image sensors based on quantum dot technology”. Prof. Dr Gerasimos Konstantatos at ICFO and Dr. Stijn Goossens at Qurv.
IT005: “Fabrication and characterization of high-performance transparent organic solar cells”. Prof. Dr. Jordi Martorell at ICFO and Dr. Sergi Cuesta at Vitsolc.
Clinical track:
CT003: “Prefrontal brain activity to understand and act against the development of dementia in aging” Prof. Dr. Turgut Durduran at ICFO and Dr. Marco Inzitari at Parc Sanitari Pere Virgili (Barcelona).
