Joint FCT-ALBA Post-Doctoral Program

The Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (ALBA) is receiving applications until May 31 for 4 post-doctoral positions to develop research projects involving Portuguese and Spanish scientific institutions in the following scientific areas: biosciences, catalysis, batteries, and materials for energy and nanomaterials.

This action comes within the scope of the Collaboration Agreement between FCT and ALBA, established in February 2019, which aims to promote scientific collaboration between the two countries, in the spirit of improving scientific and technical exchange, developing joint projects and facilitating access to scientific instrumentation in the institutions considered by the two scientific communities. 

This agreement created the conditions for collaboration and the various possible lines of activity, among which is the creation of a joint Post-Doctoral Program that includes the joint funding of 4 post-doctoral positions, one for each of the 4 scientific areas mentioned above. The summaries of the selected projects, which will be developed by the selected candidates, as well as their teams and scientific areas, can be consulted here.
