About this position

The FRIA doctoral grant from the F.R.S.-FNRS supports a 4-year PhD programme in Belgium with a research project that has a clear link to industry or agriculture. It is aimed at doctoral candidates working within the French-speaking Community of Belgium and carrying out research in one of the ERC panels in life sciences, physical sciences, or engineering.

The grant is designed to help a PhD student develop an original research project at a French-speaking Belgian university, under the supervision of an academic based there who holds a permanent or fixed-term post. The doctoral committee overseeing the PhD reviews progress before the extension phase is awarded, so the scheme combines long-term funding with formal academic monitoring.

Funding is provided by the F.R.S.-FNRS, the research fund for the French-speaking part of Belgium, and includes a stipend plus support linked to the supervisory setup. The scheme is particularly suited to research with potential application beyond academia, especially in industrial or agricultural contexts.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of approximately €2,750 for a 4-year PhD programme; stipend is tax-free and includes social security coverage. Funding is provided in two phases: up to 27 months initially, then an extension of up to 21 months. The supervisor also receives an operating budget.

What's required

Applicants must hold, or be about to obtain, a Master’s degree comprising at least 120 credit points. The degree must have been awarded by an institution in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania, unless a French-speaking Belgian university admits the candidate to its doctoral programme. The qualification must generally have been obtained within the last 7 years, with extensions for children or long-term foster care. Applicants must undertake a PhD at a university in the French-speaking Community of Belgium under a supervisor based there with a permanent or fixed-term academic post. The research must fit one of the 20 ERC panels in life sciences, physical sciences or engineering and have a clear link to industry or agriculture. Applicants of all nationalities may apply, but they must not already have received an F.R.S.-FNRS grant for more than 24 months and may apply a maximum of two times in total; FRIA and FRESH cannot be applied for in the same year.

How to apply

Apply online through the e-space platform in French or English. Submit a research project, CV, publication list and four reference contacts, including two academic and two from industry or agriculture. Validate the application by 2026-08-25 at 2 p.m. If shortlisted, attend a short oral exam at the F.R.S.-FNRS premises in Brussels.
