Mentoring Programme
If you would like to apply for a fellowship at the Institute of Neurosciences, please, get in contact with any of our researchers and ask them if they are willing to give you support.
Steps to Apply for a Fellowship at the Institute of Neurosciences
1. Identify and Contact a Mentor
Reach out to any of our researchers and inquire if they are willing to support your fellowship application. Below, you will find a list of researchers related to the specific fellowship you are interested in.
2. Confidentiality Commitment
All mentors have signed a Confidentiality Agreement, committing to keep the content of documents, comments, and exchanges confidential, as well as the identities of the candidate and supervisor.
3. Obtain Agreement
Once a researcher agrees to mentor you, send them the confidential agreement signed by you and your supervisor. Please cc: cristina.pulido@ub.edu on this email.
4. Submission Timeline
Generally, mentors require the “proposal” to be submitted two weeks in advance for proper support. However, it is advisable to contact your mentor to discuss and arrange the specific details of the process.
PhD Candidates
Doctoral INPhINIT fellowships offer a highly competitive salary and complementary opportunities for training in transferable skills throughresidential sessions, outreach activities, incentive upon completion of the thesis and other features that make these fellowships among the most attractive and comprehensive in Europe.
Incoming: For international researchers who wish to carry out their doctoral project at a Spanish research centre accredited with the Spanish Seal of Excellence María de Maeztu (such as us, UBneuro) or Severo Ochoa.
Retaining: For researchers who want to carry out their doctoral project in any field of research at any university or research centre in Spain or Portugal.
