About this position

This FWO PhD Fellowship in Strategic Basic Research supports doctoral research in Flanders, Belgium, for projects with potential economic or social applications. It is a research-funded doctoral opportunity rather than a fixed-topic studentship, so candidates shape a project in any field of research together with a supervisor at a university in the Flemish Community.

The fellowship is administered by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) and is designed to back ambitious PhD projects that go beyond immediate academic output toward longer-term impact. The award includes a monthly fellowship and a yearly bench fee for research costs and materials, with the grant described as tax-free and part of the Belgian social-security system.

Successful fellows work within a Flemish university environment and prepare their proposal with a local academic supervisor before submitting it through the FWO E-portal. Shortlisted candidates defend their proposal in person before an expert panel in Brussels, highlighting the competitive, research-led nature of the call.

The call is open internationally, as long as applicants meet the degree and university conditions and can work in English. It is intended for doctoral research in a Flemish academic setting with supervision from the host university.

Funding details

About €2,700 per month for up to 4 years if the master's was finished recently, or 3 years in eligible cases; includes a bench fee of €3,720 per year for research costs and materials. The grant is tax-free and covered by the Belgian social-security system.

What's required

Applicants must hold at least a master's degree from a recognised institution in the European Economic Area or Switzerland; degrees from elsewhere, including the UK, require recognition from NARIC-Vlaanderen or confirmation from the Flemish university. A master-after-master degree does not count. The master's must be no more than 2 years old at the 1 March 2027 deadline, with possible extensions for parental leave, sick leave or military service, and the first master's must be no more than 5 years old. Applicants must do the PhD at a university in the Flemish Community of Belgium with a supervisor there, may apply in any field of research, and must not have held this fellowship before. Applications must be written and defended in English. At most two applications are allowed in total across this fellowship and the Fundamental Research fellowship, and only once per call.

How to apply

Develop the research project with a supervisor at a Flemish university and submit it through the FWO E-portal. The supervisor must provide a recommendation letter. If shortlisted, defend the proposal in person before an expert panel in Brussels.
