Portugal : Call for Application to Individual Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Grants 2010

Funding

The grants are funded by Programa Operacional Potencial Humano of QREN Portugal 2007-2013 and by the national budget through MCTES.

Period of the Call

The call will be open from May 3^rd to September 6^th and will include two evaluation cycles.

The fist cycle will evaluate all applications sealed before 5pm on June 17^th, 2010. The second cycle will evaluate all applications sealed before 5pm on September 6^th, 2010.

Applications

The individual applications must be submitted by electronic means, using the form available at:

https://concursos.fct.mctes.pt/bolsas/

No other means of submission will be allowed. All supporting documents must be scanned and submitted through the application form, in accordance with Article 19^th of the Regulations. Whenever possible the Supplement to the Diploma relative to each completed degree must be included (see Portaria no. 30, 2008 of January 10^th).

Post Doctoral Grant (BPD) candidates who have not yet completed the doctoral degree should pay special attention to point 6 of Article 19 of the Regulations.

The candidates to BDs, whose acceptance as a doctoral student is dependent on the completion of another degree, can only apply to the grant in the first evaluation cycle if they declare that the latter degree will be awarded by September 30^th, 2010; they can only apply to the grant in the second evaluation cycle if they declare that the latter degree will be awarded by December 31^st 2010. In case these claims are not fulfilled the grant will not be awarded.

Approved grants, evaluated during the first cycle, may start not before October 1^st 2010; approved grants, evaluated during the second cycle, may start not before January 1^st 2011.

This call, although including two evaluation cycles, only allows one application, which will be evaluated by the evaluation panel corresponding to the scientific area chosen by the candidate (each candidate may only choose one scientific area). The submission of two applications implies that both will be canceled.

Evaluation

Only applications sealed by the candsidates will be evaluated. The evaluation takes into account the merits of the candidate, work plan and hosting conditions. The evaluation panel for each main scientific domain will receive an evaluation guide, gauge the corresponding applications weighting the evaluation criteria and will produce an ordered list of candidates.

Regulations

The Regulations are available at:
