Apply with CFM to the EJ/GV call for pre-docs
Application deadline: Sept. 9, 2020
The EJ/GV call for pre-doctorals recruitment is open. The program aims to promote the training of researchers to obtain the title of Doctor and the acquisition of the competences and skills related to quality scientific research within a PhD Program.
This call gives continuity to the specific line of aid for the promotion of research in neutronics and particle acceleration launched in 2018, an area that is currently of special interest in the context of the European Union and particularly the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Apply with CFM!
CFM is seeking for bright, highly motivated PhD candidates who are willing to work in an intellectually stimulating environment to develop cutting-edge training and research on Materials Science, exploring physical and chemical properties of advanced materials, nanostructures and nanodevices, either theoretically or experimentally.
