Consistent with Decree-Law 57/2016, the normal link for research carried out by doctors should be hiring. Supporting Scientific Employment is, therefore, a priority for the FCT.

(1) Support for the hiring of PhD researchers in all scientific areas and their insertion in research units, financed by the FCT, and their respective host institutions , direct support for the hiring of PhD researchers, through Calls annual events promoted by the FCT, in order to facilitate the continuous and systematic integration of new doctors in scientific institutions.

(2) Support for scientific employment plans and development of scientific careers by higher education institutions, State laboratories and scientific institutions, public or private , support for the development of R&D activities by establishing and encouraging, among others, the hiring of PhD researchers by scientific institutions, through Calls annual events aimed at institutions and promoted by the FCT.
