ICREA SENIOR CALL GUIDELINES 2022
ICREA opens 20 senior research positions in the following areas:
- Humanities
- Social & Behavioural Sciences
- Life & Medical Sciences
Minimum requirements are a Ph.D. degree obtained preferably before 2018, 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 8th March 2020 (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 2023.
Applications must be submitted electronically via this website before 2:00 pm (Central European Time) on Tuesday, 8 March 2022. Please note that no applications can be submitted after the deadline.
The next ICREA call, in 2023, will open positions for the rest of the areas (Experimental Sciences & Mathematics and Engineering Sciences).
Deadline: 8 March 2022.
