About this position
This F.R.S.-FNRS fellowship supports a clinical doctor who is beginning a PhD while continuing part-time specialist work in a university hospital. The award is designed for applicants in the French-speaking part of Belgium and is tied to a research appointment at a university with a medical school.
The project sits at the intersection of clinical practice and academic research. During the fellowship, the candidate carries out hospital-based clinical duties and pursues doctoral research in a health-related field such as medical, biomedical or pharmaceutical sciences, dentistry, public health, sport and movement science, or veterinary science. The scheme is intended to help specialist doctors develop a research profile alongside their professional practice, with the university hospital and the university each playing a role in the arrangement.
The F.R.S.-FNRS is the leading public research funding body in the French-speaking part of Belgium, and this fellowship is one of its routes for clinically trained researchers entering doctoral study. The advert specifies that the research must be based at one of the eligible universities in French-speaking Belgium and that the supervisor must be permanently employed there.
The fellowship can run for up to two years and may be renewed once, supporting a total period of up to four years. The advert also states that FNRS covers half of the costs while the university hospital continues to pay the salary, making this a structured clinical-research pathway for medically qualified applicants.
Funding details
FNRS covers half the costs of the PhD post while the university hospital continues to pay the salary; reimbursement is capped at EUR 58,700 per year for a fixed-term contract or EUR 77,400 per year for a permanent contract. Fellowship duration is up to 2 years, renewable once for a total of up to 4 years.
What's required
Applicants must have obtained a Doctor of Medicine degree and a specialist qualification by 1 October of the funding year. Their specialist status (authorisation to practise in Belgium) must have been obtained no more than 3 years before 1 October of the application year, with extensions possible for parental or care-related reasons. The PhD must be in a health field such as medical, biomedical or pharmaceutical sciences, dentistry, public health, sport and movement science, or veterinary science. Clinical work must be carried out at a university hospital and research at a university in the French-speaking part of Belgium (UCLouvain, ULB, ULiège, UMons or UNamur) with its own medical school. The supervisor must be permanently employed at one of these universities. Any nationality may apply, but applicants must not have previously received an SD, CSD, Research Fellow, FRIA or any other F.R.S.-FNRS grant, and may apply a maximum of 3 times.
How to apply
Apply online through the FNRS e-space portal in French or English. For the 2026 call, validate the application by 17 February 2026 at 2 p.m. Brussels time. The supervisor and university then validate it in the following weeks, after which the FNRS Board of Trustees decides in June.
