10 Senior Research Positions, ICREA, Catalan Institution for Research & Advanced Studies, Spain (2017)

ICREA opens 10 senior research positions in the following areas:

- Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
- Engineering Sciences

Minimum requirements are a Ph.D. degree obtained preferably before 2013, with at least four years of international exposure at pre-doctoral and/or post-doctoral level. Only very strong candidates with an outstanding research record and excellent leadership capabilities will be considered. Applications from women are especially welcome. Successful applicants will have a permanent contract with ICREA and will work at universities or research centres in Catalonia. 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 active members and leaders of the Catalan research community.

Salaries will be in line with those at Catalan universities. ICREA research professors will be subject to an evaluation of their research progress and general performance after a three-year period and subsequently every five years. The evaluations will be carried out by external evaluation committees that will assess scientific production as well as research activity. Positive evaluations lead to salary increases.

The ICREA position is not compatible with a permanent contract outside the Catalan research system (not even part-time). Scholars holding a permanent position (even on leave of absence) in the Catalan research system for longer than 24 months on the deadline of this call, are not eligible.

Successful candidates are expected to join the host institution no later than September 2018.
