Master/PhD Signal Processing for Chemical Analysis, Spain

Master/ PhD. Scholarships - 4 Becas para Master/doctorado
Signal Processing 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
