Ikerbasque - the Basque Foundation for Science, has launched in 2022 a new call offering 20 positions for postdoctoral researchers. These positions are financed by the Basque Government, the Europear Comission 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 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.
41,000 € 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.
Who?
The applicants must have their PhD completed between between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2019.
Applications from women are especially welcomed. The eligibility period will be extended under special circumstances such as maternity.
Deadline: 15 March 2022.
