for Chemical/Biochemical Analysis
Department of Electronic Engineering - Departament d'Enginyeria
Electrònica,
Eléctrica i Automática

*Scholarship goal:* To obtain a European-compliant PhD. Degree (and
eventually a Master in Electronic Engineering)

*Duration:* 4 years (2 year grant + two year job contract)

*Funding organization:* Rovira i Virgili University, Electronics
Department

*Location:* Tarragona (located by the sea at the NE of Spain, 100 km SW
of
Barcelona)

*Retribution:*
907 € per month the first 2 years (grant)
1100 € per month the last 2 years (contract)

*General description of the Master/PhD. programme:* The candidate is
expected to work full time (8h a day) during the four years to obtain
his/her PhD. Depending on the diplomas owned by the candidate, he/she
will
have to follow a few courses equivalent to 60 ECTS from a Research
Master in
Electronic Engineering (in this case the students will obtain the title
of
Master in Electronics Engineering) before starting his/her research
activities, which should lead to his/her thesis dissertation at the end
of
the fourth year. During the last two years, the candidate will be
additionally funded to develop part of his research work at another
European
research institution for a duration of at least three months, so he/she
can
obtain a European PhD. certificate.

*Profile of the candidate:* The optimal profile for the position would
be a
recent graduate on electronic engineering or chemistry or physics
(chemistry, chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, biochemical
engineering, electronic engineering, physics, etc.) willing to obtain
his/her European Ph.D. degree in four years. The candidate should be
able to
economically sustain him/herself with the grant with no additional
funding
(something easy to do in Spain with such a grant). Applicants are
expected
to work in the following areas: Signal Processing for
Chemical/Biochemical
analysis (metabolomics, metabonomics). Good level of English is
required and
good Spanish level would be appreciated too

*Information required:* Applicants are required to send to the address
specified below a full Curriculum Vitae (as complete as possible), Copy
of
their diploma (with the The Hague apostille), copy of their passport,
Academic certificate including their marks (it is important that the
number
of hours of each subject or the ECTS of each subject appears clearly in
this
document). It is also very important that the document specifies what
is the
minimum mark for passing a given subject and what is the maximum mark
that
can be awarded.
