Doctoral researcher

Doctoral researcher

The mission of the F.R.S.-FNRS is to promote free (fundamental) scientific research in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation by allocating grants to researchers and institutions. To fulfil this mission, the F.R.S.-FNRS has financial instruments that are the subject of calls for proposals at different times of the year. The allocation of grants is subject to a peer review of the quality of the proposal and is based on scientific excellence.

The F.R.S.-FNRS employs over 2,000 researchers at different stages of their careers.

This involves:

  • either scholarships or fixed-term contracts for PhD students or postdoctoral fellows, or
  • permanent positions for senior researchers (Research Associates, Senior Research Associates, Research Directors).

These researchers carry out their activities in all fields of science, within French-speaking universities that make their infrastructures available to them and integrate them into their academic environment. Other tools also make it possible to provide researchers conducting a project of excellence with scientific and technical personnel, equipment and means of operation.
