About this position
This F.R.S.-FNRS fellowship supports a medical doctor in combining clinical work with research time for an Advanced Master and a PhD at a university of the French-speaking Community of Belgium.
The award is designed for doctors who remain employed full-time in a Belgian hospital while carrying out research activity alongside specialist training. The fellowship reimburses the hospital for part of the cost of the doctor’s post, helping create protected time for doctoral research and advanced study. It is funded by the F.R.S.-FNRS, the research funding body of French-speaking Belgium.
The project context is strongly clinical and hospital-based: the applicant continues working in a healthcare environment, typically within a recognised Belgian university hospital, while being enrolled in an Advanced Master and doctoral programme. The eligible research areas include medicine, biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, dentistry, public health, motor sciences and veterinary science, reflecting a broad range of medically oriented and health-related research paths.
The scheme requires an academic promoter at a French-speaking Belgian university with a full faculty of medicine, linking the candidate’s clinical training to university-based doctoral supervision. The fellowship can begin during specialist training and may be renewed, allowing sustained research development over several years.
This is a fellowship for medical professionals pursuing combined advanced study and doctoral research within Belgium’s French-speaking academic and hospital environment.
