Skills/Qualifications/Admission requirements: Master in Chemical Engineering, enrolled in a PhD program.
Although the recipients must be enrolled in a cycle of studies leading to the attribution of an academic degree or in a course not conferring an academic degree, at the time of application it is not necessary for the candidate to have made such an enrollment, and proof of enrollment must be presented until the fellowship is contractualized. Candidates are only required to meet the requirements to enroll in the training offer. If there are candidates already enrolled (including attending a course), they compete on an equal footing with those who are not enrolled.
Work plan/Objectives: Development of laboratory activities to be carried out at DEQ/UC to support Uniovo, namely:
Characterization of biomass;
Design of composting formulations;
LCA (Life cycle assessment) studies;
Determination of carbon footprint.
Regime: The attribution of the fellowship does not generate or entitle a relation of a legal-labour nature, and the fellowship is undertaken in an exclusive dedication regime. The fellowship holder is awarded the Fellowship Statute of the UC, in its current wording, according to the Research Fellowship Holder Statute, and according to the Regulation for Research Fellowships of the Foundation for Science and Technology, both in their current wording.
Location: Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Coimbra.
Duration: 12 (twelve) months.
Renewal: Possibly renewable.
Financial conditions: The amount of the fellowship is €1259,64 corresponding to the monthly compensation stipulated in the FCT table, plus social security (Seguro Social Voluntário, first level contributions) and personal accidents insurance.
