Presentation
The Ph. D. Office is meant to facilitate the scientific and administrative life of our Ph. D. students, create a good work environment, promote scientific and social events and provide guidance during the development of their Ph. D. Thesis.
In addition to the Ph. D. Thesis supervisor, supportive guidance is provided to the students by the Thesis Advisory Committees (TACs).
Issues discussed within the Ph. D. student community or particular concerns that arise during project development can be brought to Ph. D. Student Chairs, any member of the Ph. D. Student Senior Board or via the Ph. D. Student Council.
IBMB students follow the IBMB-Ph. D. Programme, which includes the development of a scientific project in addition to access to internationally renowned weekly seminars, conferences on scientific writing, oral presentations and professional guidance, technical workshops and the yearly Student and IBMB-Christmas Meetings.
All scientific activities are held in English and prepare the students to present and discuss science at an international level. Students are encouraged to attend Conferences in their fields and visit laboratories abroad for periods of 3 to 6 months to improve their scientific and technical skills.

Become a PhD student
Most of the Ph. D. students at the IBMB start as Master Students or even as Pregraduate fellows. The IBMB offers positions to develop the pre-graduate practicums and Master Thesis at several Universities of Barcelona (See Masters and Practicums related to our research at “webs of interest”).
Starting as a Master student gives you the opportunity to have a first contact with the research group and decide on a solid base to proceed to the Ph. D. during the next 3-4 years.
Once the decision is made, the student will chose a Ph. D. Programme from any of the Universities in Barcelona, matriculate and search for founding.
There are several founding opportunities to support your studies (see Ph. D. fellowships at “webs of interest”). If you are particularly interested in the research of one or more of our groups, we strongly recommend you to directly contact the Principal Investigator by e-mail to explore the possibilities.

PhD students council
The IBMB PhD Council is a group conformed by three representative PhD students from each department at IBMB. Its main goal is to serve as a bridge between PhD candidates and IBMB boards (PhD office, administration, etc.) by discussing regularly any issue or concern that the PhD community may have in an effort to improve students’ work conditions.
Moreover, this committee organizes student-run activities, both scientific and social events, trying to meet the interests of young researchers as well as to promote networking among IBMB PhD community. Besides our current activities, we plan to continue promoting new events to bring people closer and organizing talks about topics of interest such as career options after the PhD, scientific communication and mental health.
Check out our next events and talks and, if you are interested, join us by sending an email!
Hope to see you soon.
