"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.
