Stimulus Programme for Scientific Employment


The Stimulus Programme for Scientific Employment (CEEC) is an initiative of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) which aims to hire researchers with doctorates - of any nationality or stateless persons holding a degree in any scientific area - who wish to carry out their scientific research activity in Portugal.

As a research unit, the UCILeR may host potential work plans and support the preparation of applications to the Stimulus Programme for Scientific Employment.

The Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) offer Doctoral Research Grants for candidates who wish to develop research activities leading to a doctoral degree.

Candidates wishing to develop their research activities at the UCILeR and who have full researchers from the UCILeR as advisors may contact us to receive support in preparing applications.
