ICM-CSIC Predoctoral call ('Ayudas para contratos predoctorales para la formación de doctores 2022')

The Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) aims to train the next generation of researchers in marine sciences to build the future we imagine for our oceans. These PhD fellowships will be funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through a predoctoral call ('Ayudas para contratos predoctorales para la formación de doctores 2022').

Interested candidates can only apply to one of the following projects, and it is highly recommended that they contact the researcher in charge before submitting the application:
