Offer Description
IST-ID - Associação do Instituto Superior Técnico para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento, main Host/Management Institution of Center for Computational and Stochastic Mathematics (CEMAT), opens a call for the awarding of 1 (one) research fellowship, hereinafter designated by PhD Research Fellowship, in the scientific area of Mathematics - Applied and Numerical Analysis, or Analysis Mathematical Modeling in Biomedicine, or Statistics and Stochastic Processes, under the Research Fellowship Regulation (Regulamento de Bolsas de Investigação da FCT - RBI) and the Research Fellowship Holder Statute (Estatuto do Bolseiro de Investigação - EBI). The fellowship will be financed by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) under the Collaboration Protocol for Financing the Multiannual Research Fellowship Plan for Doctoral Students, signed between FCT and the R&D Unit CEMAT, UIDB/04621/2020.
Aiming to support advanced training, PhD Research Fellowship will be granted to an applicant that fulfil the requirements to join a study cycle that allows to obtain a PhD degree and that wish to develop research work that allows obtaining that degree. The research activities leading to the attainment of the PhD degree will take place in CEMAT, which will be the host institution of the fellowship holder, without prejudice the work can be carried out in collaboration with more than one institution. The research activities leading to the attainment of the PhD degree must be integrated in the activities plan and strategy of CEMAT and should be developed under the PhD Program in Mathematics or the PhD Program in Statistics and Stochastic Processes offered by the Department of Mathematics at IST, or the PhD Program in Mathematics offered by the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon. The work plan may be developed entirely or partially in a national institution (fellowship in Portugal or both in Portugal and abroad, respectively).
The duration of the fellowship is, as a rule, annual, renewable up to the maximum of four years (48 months) and cannot be granted for a period less than 3 consecutive months. In the case of a fellowship carried out both in Portugal and abroad, the work plan period in a foreign institution cannot exceed 24 months.
