About this position

F.R.S.-FNRS Special Doctoral Grant (BSD) supports teachers in the French-speaking Community of Belgium who are already pursuing a PhD and need a one-year leave from their secondary-school duties to complete their doctoral research.

This scholarship is designed as a full-time doctoral leave award rather than a new project launch. It enables the recipient to focus on finishing an advanced PhD within one year while remaining attached to their school employment and retaining the right to return to their post afterwards. The grant is administered by the F.R.S.-FNRS, the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research in the French-speaking Community.

The award is tied to the applicant's existing employment and doctoral trajectory. It is intended for candidates whose thesis work is already far enough along to be completed during the grant year and whose supervisor holds a permanent academic post at a university in the French-speaking Community of Belgium. The scholarship includes monthly payment, holiday pay, accident insurance, and continued social security coverage. Research stays abroad may be possible with authorisation.

The call is open across disciplines, so the emphasis is on the applicant's doctoral progress, institutional setting, and eligibility as a permanent secondary-school teacher rather than on a specific research field.

Funding details

Full-time scholarship for one year; amount equals the applicant's last net salary as a teacher, capped at one full-time salary for civil servants in permanent posts. Includes monthly payment, holiday pay, and insurance against accidents at work; tax-exempt and social security coverage retained.

What's required

Applicants must be teachers in a secondary school with a permanent post allowing one year of unpaid leave with guaranteed reinstatement. They must hold a Master's degree or an equivalent qualification from the French-speaking Community of Belgium that entitles them to undertake doctoral studies. They must be enrolled in a PhD at a university in the French-speaking Community of Belgium, have a research project advanced enough to be completed within one full-time year, be 45 years old or younger at the start of the grant, have never received a BSD, and have applied no more than twice before.

How to apply

Email the FNRS with your CV and teaching appointment letter to obtain access to the online application form. Then submit the full application online. Your supervisor and university rector must confirm the application.
