aimed at exceptional graduate students from all over the world.
These PhD studentships will support your enrolment in a training
and research program in the field of chemistry, ultimately leading
to the completion of a PhD in Chemistry in partnership with the
Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV).The PhD will be ascribed to the
CEX2024-001469-S project funded by the ‘Ministerio de Ciencia,
Innovación y Universidades / Agencia Estatal de Investigación

achieved by the following activities: The performance of each
individual research project is aligned with one of the research
lines of the ICIQ-Severo Ochoa Strategic Plan - Innovative
Catalysis, Renewable Energy Vectors, and Molecular Medicine- in a
creative and stimulating scientific environment. The Thesis project
will be supervised by two ICIQ Group Leaders (supervisor and
co-supervisor) to ensure that the PhD student benefits from a
multidisciplinary project and dual mentorship. A complementary
training program in both technical and soft skills is provided. The
educational framework is designed to ensure a successful career:
scientific seminars, hands-on training in the use of
state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation, IP management,
entrepreneurship, research integrity, knowledge and technology
transfer, grant applications, project management, communication
skills and career development. ICIQ provides a personalized annual
training program for PhD students called SHARP (Severo Ochoa PhD
Training Program), which occurs over two weeks and focuses on your
specific PhD year. Opportunities for short-term placements in
