The Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) has opened 10 senior research positions for 2021 in the areas of Experimental Sciences & Mathematics, and Engineering Sciences.
The IIIA-CSIC encourages candidates to apply to this call and will support outstanding candidacies for the area of Engineering Sciences.
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.
Minimum requirements are a Ph.D. degree obtained preferably before 2017, 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 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 9th March 2019 (24 months prior to the deadline of this call), were not yet holding a permanent position in the Catalan research system.
Candidates need to have the support of the Catalan research institution where they will carry out their research activities.
Interested applicants to apply for an ICREA position at IIIA-CSIC should send a letter of expression of interest and CV to marco@iiia.csic.es before 28 February 2021 (Reference: ICREA 2021).
An ad-hoc selection committee will evaluate all candidacies and decide which ones IIIA-CSIC will support.
Then, the application must be submitted electronically via the ICREA website https://www.icrea.cat/en/calls before 2:00 pm CET on Tuesday, 9 March 2021. Please note that no applications can be submitted after the deadline.
