The CNIC as a “Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence” is a hosting institution within the INPhINIT “la Caixa” Fellowships Programme. The Centre is searching talented and highly motivated young researchers to carry out research projects in the cardiovascular field. ”la Caixa” Foundation firmly believe that, by supporting talent and academic excellence, they can contribute towards the progress of society. A commitment that has positioned them as one of the leading foundations in the world and which, today, They are making even stronger with the launch of INPhINIT.

”la Caixa” Fellowship Programme

INPhINIT aims to revolutionise European doctoral training in terms of its quality, excellence of researchers, scope of the benefits offered and expected impact.

Invest in your talent with INPhINIT and change history.

  • 57 fellowships at Spanish Research Centres of Excellence
  • 3-year doctoral employment contract
  • Personal development career plan

Requirements

At the time of recruitment, candidates must comply with one of the following options:

  • To have completed the studies that lead to an official Spanish (or from another country of the European Higher Education Area) university degree awarding 300 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 ECTS credits must correspond to master level.
  • To have completed a degree in a non-Spanish university not adapted to the European Higher Education Area that gives access to doctoral studies. The verification of an equivalent level of studies to the ones mentioned above will be made by the university when the admission procedure starts.

To be eligible, candidates must:

  • Be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree.
  • Not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment date. Short stays such as holidays will not be taken into account.
