10 Senior Research Positions at ICREA

ICREA opens 10 senior research positions in the following areas:

Humanities
Life & Medical Sciences
Social & Behavioural Sciences

Minimum requirements are a Ph.D. degree obtained preferably before 2016, with relevant multinational exposure at pre-doctoral and/or post-doctoral level.

Candidates in an expansive phase of their academic career, with an outstanding research record and leadership are encouraged to apply. Applications from women are especially welcome. ICREA researchers are required to make substantial contributions to their own areas of research and to have a strong impact in the Catalan research system by becoming fully involved, active members of the Catalan research community.

Successful applicants will be offered a permanent contract with ICREA to work at universities or research centres in Catalonia.

Salaries are in line with those at Catalan universities. ICREA research professors are subject to an evaluation of their research progress and general performance after the first three-year period and, subsequently, every five years. The evaluations are carried out by external evaluation committees that assess scientific production as well as research activity. Positive evaluations lead to salary increases. ICREA positions are not compatible with permanent positions outside the Catalan research system (not even part-time).

The call is open to all scholars worldwide who, on the 12th March 2018 (24 months prior to the deadline of this call), were not yet holding a permanent position in the Catalan research system.

Successful candidates are expected to join the host institution no later than September 2021.

Applications must be submitted electronically via this website before 2:00 pm (Central European Time) on Thursday, 12 March 2020. Please note that no applications can be submitted after the deadline.
