The Department of Experimental and Health Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University (DCEXSUPF) opens a call for the academic year 2017-18, for accomplished and driven students with an excellent academic record to carry out a PhD in Biomedicine.

The research and teaching excellence of the DCEXS-UPF is widely acknowledged. For instance the DCEXS-UPF was one of six research units in Spain to be awarded the "María de Maeztu" distinction and grant by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness in its first call. Furthermore, the DCEXS-UPF offers a unique and international research environment and cutting-edge scientific facilities, thanks to its privileged location in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park.

11 fellowships are offered in groups led by recognized scientists performing research in biomedicine (see below for more information). Candidates will choose up to 3 groups they would like to join (see section Selection process and calendar).
