Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) welcomes new PhD students selected through the FPI–ICIQ 2024 call, funded by Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and by the ESF+.
This initiative supports early-stage researchers from around the world in pursuing doctoral research at ICIQ. The fellowships fund PhD theses directly linked to research projects awarded under the “Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento (PID) 2024” call, issued by the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI).
The four-year fellowships starts in the first semester of 2026. During this period, the selected PhD students will undertake individual research projects under the supervision of ICIQ Group Leaders, gaining advanced scientific training and opportunities for professional development in both academic and industrial environments.
In addition, the programme offers the possibility of short-term research stays at leading international research institutions, further enhancing the fellows’ scientific and professional experience.
The selected students will work on the following research projects:
Alfonso Navarro Esteban – Mechanistic Insights into Homogeneous Catalyst Activation and Deactivation Pathways in the group of Prof. Jordi Burés (REF: PREP2024-002635)
Vasiliki Papantoniou – Multi-functional sensors to guide antibiotic therapy in the group of Prof. Beatriz Prieto-Simón (REF: PREP2024-003303)
Xiaojuan Zhou – Modulation of the Conformational and Self-Assembly Characteristics of Biological Oligomers by a Supramolecular Host-Guest Approach in the group of Dr. Luis Escobar (REF: PREP2024-002832)
These fellowships are funded by the MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by the ESF+.
