Who Should Apply?
The fellowship is intended for students who are currently enrolled in:
- An official undergraduate programme, or
- An official Master's/MSc programme

Applicants should:
- Be enrolled in an official undergraduate or MSc programme.
- Have a university able to sign the required agreement with CRG.
- Meet the requirements of the selected research project.
- Be a new CRG recruit.
- Be available to undertake the fellowship during the 2026/2027 academic year.
The CRG announcement does not restrict the fellowship to a particular nationality.
Required Documents
Applicants should prepare:
- Motivation letter
- Curriculum Vitae
- Reference letter
- University transcripts
Applicants should carefully review the available projects and contact the relevant project supervisor and group leader if interested.
How to Apply
There is no single general deadline for all CRG fellowships.
Instead, each project remains open until the appropriate candidate is found. Applicants should therefore:
- Review the available CRG research projects.
- Identify a project that matches their academic background and interests.
- Read the specific project information carefully.
- Contact the project supervisor and group leader.
- Prepare a focused motivation letter.
- Submit the CV, reference letter and university transcripts.
- Complete any additional requirements requested by the research group.
Because positions can close when a suitable candidate is selected, interested students should apply as early as possible.
How to Increase Your Chances
Your motivation letter should be specific to the research project you are applying for.
Explain:
- Your academic background
- Your relevant research interests
- Why the particular project interests you
- Any laboratory, analytical, programming or research experience
- What you hope to learn during the fellowship
Avoid sending the same generic motivation letter to different research groups.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid:
- Applying without reading the specific project description.
- Sending an unfocused motivation letter.
- Forgetting university transcripts.
- Failing to provide a reference letter.
- Applying to a project that does not match your academic background.
- Waiting until the last moment when the position has no fixed closing date.
Application Deadline
No single fixed deadline.
Each fellowship project remains open until a suitable candidate is found. The fellowship must take place during the 2026/2027 academic year.
