The Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials (CIC biomaGUNE) offers Master's students the possibility to develop their Research Master Project (trabajo de fin de máster -TFM- in Spanish) within one of CIC biomaGUNE's research groups.

Three options are available:

• Laboratory research project. This type of project aims at training the student in laboratory-based scientific skills. The student will endeavor to execute an experimental project.

• Technology development research project. This type of project aims at training the student in scientific and technological skills. The student will endeavor to execute a laboratory project oriented to the maturation of a technology.

• Entrepreneurial research project. This type of project aims at training the student in entrepreneurial skills. The student will provide support in the design of a business model and initial steps of deep-tech entrepreneurial ventures.

We are looking for highly motivated students once completed their master’s degree, would like to pursue their PhD studies at CIC biomaGUNE, or be members of entrepreneurial teams leading technology-based start-ups leveraging on CIC biomaGUNE’s technology portfolio.

The Master Project will be conducted under the supervision of a CIC biomaGUNE Principal Researcher. During their stay, students will have access to suitable laboratory space, equipment, research supplies and support from CIC biomaGUNE staff. They will work alongside pre‐ and post‐doctoral researchers, and receive training at the highest levels also by participating to CIC biomaGUNE seminars.

A maximum of 3 scholarships will be awarded.

The program runs for a total of 6 months. The call is open to master's students of any nationality.
