Ikerbasque - the Basque Foundation for Science, has launched a new call offering 20 positions for postdoctoral researchers. These positions are financed by the Basque Government, the European Commission and the host institution where the researcher will develop his/her research: therefore the acceptance letter of the host institution is mandatory.
These five year Fellowships are directed to promising young researchers; they are intended to offer a track towards a Principal Investigator (PI) role and independent research. The selected Fellows should be able to acquire the necessary skills for a research leader role. Ikerbasque is committed to offer a long-term career to the research community: Fellows in their 5th year can be assessed for a permanent position.
Who? The applicants must have their PhD completed between 01/01/2010 and 31/12/2018.
What?
5 year employment contract including full social security.
40,000 € gross annual salary. There is also a moving allowance up to 4,000 € for researchers that come from a foreign research institution.
10,000 € start-up funding for the research costs.
After the 5 year period the Research Fellow can obtain a permanent position as a Research Associate.
Applications from women are especially welcomed. The eligibility period will be extended under special circumstances such as maternity.
