IBEC

Doing your doctorate at IBEC

 

If you choose to do your PhD at IBEC, you’ll be joining a young and growing organization with a scientific staff of 250 researchers and expert technicians, with more than 30% coming from abroad. The institute is in the process of expansion, aiming to have 22 research groups by 2016, a growing rate that ensures opportunities for young researchers. As a student in one of IBEC’s labs, as well as the support of your group leader, you’ll benefit from mentoring and supervision from early career researchers who will advise you throughout your project.
