IDEAL’s career development scheme is based in three cornerstones:

1.- Career guidance

IDEAL PhD’s supervision strategy for Career Development and Training, requires each doctoral candidate to have two supervisors and a career coordinator, with specific and complementary functions, during their stay at IMDEA Nanociencia. The two supervisors will be a primary supervisor and a co-supervisor.

 2.- Personalized career development plan

Fellows and supervisors will agree on a Personalised Career Development Plan, which aims to allow researchers to plan their career efficiently, establishing goals, recognizing strengths and weaknesses and discovering possibilities of professional development.

3.- A comprehensive training plan

The IDEAL PhD Training Programme will be offered to fellows, aiming to deepen interdisciplinary scientific and technical skills on the different areas of knowledge of IMDEA Nanociencia. Training also draws special focus on transferable skills training, having in mind fellow’s future career development with an innovative, interdisciplinary and intersectional perspective.
