INPhINIT is a doctoral fellowship programme devoted to attracting international Early-Stage Researchers to the top Spanish research centres in the areas of Bio and Heath Sciences, Physics, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
”la Caixa” Foundation grants 35 fellowships for early-stage researchers of any nationality to pursue their PhD studies in research centres accredited with the Spanish Seal of Excellence Severo Ochoa, María de Maeztu or Health Institute Carlos III and Portuguese units accredited as “excellent” according to the evaluation of the Fundação de Ciência e Tecnologia. This frame is addressed exclusively to PhD research projects on STEM disciplines: life sciences and health, experimental sciences, physics, chemistry and mathematics.
Check out the CRM research groups participating in the 2023 call:
- Algebraic tools for amino acid substitution models | Marta Casanellas Rius
- Evaluating the hazard and the number of Near-Earth objects | Pere Puig
- Learning random computational models | Guillem Perarnau Llobet
- Mathematical modeling and optimization of phage-based antibiotic therapies | Josep Sardanyés Cayuela
- Quantization and Hamiltonian dynamics of Poisson manifolds via symplectic geometry | Eva Miranda

25 January 2023: Deadline for submitting applications.
REQUIREMENTS
- Research experience: Candidates must be in the first four years of their research career and must not have previously obtained a PhD degree or be in a position to apply for one.
- Academic records: Applicants must hold a higher education degree that makes them eligible to enrol in a doctoral programme in Spain/Portugal when starting at their host institutions. The verification of the level of studies equivalent to those mentioned above will be carried out by the host university during the admission procedure.
- Mobility: Candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain/Portugal for more than twelve months in the three years immediately prior to the deadline for applications.
- Level of English: Candidates must accredit an advanced level of English (B2 or higher).
