10 PhD Fellowships at CNIO, Spain

"la Caixa"/CNIO International PhD Programme

In 2008 "la Caixa" Foundation, a non-profit organization, launched a fellowship programme for outstanding young graduate students from all over the world who want to pursue an ambitious PhD project at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO). Last year "la Caixa" dedicated a budget of 500 million Euros to its social and cultural outreach projects, making it Spain's leading private foundation, the second biggest in Europe and the fifth worldwide in terms of budget.

The "la Caixa"/CNIO international PhD programme offers cross-disciplinary training in state-of-the- art basic and applied cancer research within an international scientific environment. Ten fully funded four year fellowships will be available in 2009. Candidates should have an excellent academic track record, a solid knowledge of English and previous research experience.

Applications must be received by March 15th, 2009.
