Grants

The Honourable Schoolboy

Hello,

It may become (gradually) possible,  it is still being planned,  that the following grants may open. 
It is not fully certain (until the calls become into Public Notices) but it is getting 'closer' and any interested party
should either consider or even start assembling and preparing. Because FCT (either dir€ctly or indir€ctly) is very, very ... , very much competitive indeed.



So,  in order that you may share or may start to gather documents as well as planning research
programs,  during this current year (2020), towards the end of the semester,  namely the month of May or June, CMA-UBI
(http://wordpress.ubi.pt/cma/)  could 
open 2 (two) PhD grants for mathematics and applications (https://www.ubi.pt/en/course/1008) AND
  1 (one) PhD grant to open (at the same time, say May or June)  in theoretical physics (https://www.ubi.pt/en/course/842). 

Two (2) more PhD grants in mathematics and applications (https://www.ubi.pt/en/course/1008) will open in 2021.


Furthermore, it is possible a (junior) post-doctoral may be open in CMA-UBI, during 2021.

Please have a look at
http://wordpress.ubi.pt/cma/physics-and-mathematical-modeling-group/ and http://wordpress.ubi.pt/cma/mathematics-group/.

Please also note that this message constitutes a personal, informal  sharing via social media and any formal, official, realistic and rigorous information should
be sought from the  Directive Board (http://wordpress.ubi.pt/cma/):
Coordinator: Rui Pacheco (rpacheco@ubi.pt)
Vice-coordinator: António J. G. Bento (bento@ubi.pt)
Principal researcher of PMMG: Ana Paula Martins (amartins@ubi.pt)
Principal researcher of MG: Helder Vilarinho (helder@ubi.pt)



So,  you if you are interested,  you should be starting gathering data as well as a research plan:  it will be important that you have a research plan, that your ability clearly shows plus you argue for what you are aiming to work on,  in terms of your graduation for a PhD or towards research in a post-doc function.

Please note that additional PhD grants and a possible post-doc, from other (!)  funds, may eventually be provided but this is less pre-established, it at all. But in any case, prepare.

Please do note that any of the above will be EXTREMELY competitive and the more time you dedicate to the preparation and writing, the better.

Best regards,
PMoniz
