The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has opened the call for the JAE Intro: 2021 scholarships, included in the “Board for Extension of Studies” program, in which the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA) proposes and leads a total of 9 research projects (description below).
The application period ends on April 12th and is done through the Electronic Office of the CSIC: https://sede.csic.gob.es/intro2021.
The call offers a total of 250 grants. The amount of each scholarship is 3000€ for a 5-month period with the possibility of a 4-month extension with the same amount. During this period, its beneficiaries will join, under the direction of the researcher responsible for the chosen work topic, one of the research groups of the CSIC centres.
The main objective of these scholarships is to offer students a first contact with the professional possibilities offered by CSIC institutes in the different areas of scientific research.
