With this call, FCT aims to support the best graduates who wish to pursue research leading to a PhD degree, and the most creative post-doctoral researchers in pursuing cutting-edge projects, in Portuguese or foreign research centres, in all fields of research.

Application deadline: 11 May 2015.

Foreign researchers who are non-residents in Portugal may apply to post-doctoral fellowships, as long as their application is supported by a Portuguese institution and the research project is to be carried out entirely in Portugal.  

Note: Applicants to post-doctoral fellowships are required to have completed their PhD at the time of application. In case of a degree from a foreign university, the applicant should ask for its acceptance by the Direção Geral do Ensino Superior or a Portuguese university.
