Advanced Integrated Microsystems PhD Programme 2018

Oeiras, 20.02.2018

The call for applications to the 2018 edition of the PhD Programme in Advanced Integrated Microsystems (AIM) is now open. Nine FCT-funded fellowships are available to highly motivated candidates interested in the design and implementation of miniaturized multifunctional devices and systems fabricated using top-down and bottom-up micro and nanofabrication techniques. The application deadline is March 31. The new Fellows will join a close and interacting team of 15 other AIM Fellows.

This doctoral programme focuses on advanced integrated microsystems and its objective is to offer advanced training that includes: micro/nanofabrication of devices and systems; sensing and actuating; application of devices to physical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, and biomedical challenges. Microsystem technologies are a deeply interdisciplinary subject, and advanced training at the doctoral level will be both challenging and rewarding, producing graduates with a broad scientific vision, who are knowledgeable in a wide variety of scientific disciplines.

Interested candidates should visit the AIM website and access the online application form, where all information can be uploaded.

The AIM PhD Programme is funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia and involves research groups from ITQB NOVA, INESC-MN, INL, INESC-ID, IBB and iMed.
