CRM Postdoctoral Grants

Guidelines

Doctoral degree holders can apply for postdoctoral stays at the CRM, provided that their doctorate has been awarded no earlier than 5 years before the application date. A certificate of doctoral award must be presented before the starting date of the stay.

Applicants must have a written acceptance by a host research group, stating their conformity with the research plan of the applicant and their willingness to host him or her as a participant in the activities of the group during his or her stay at the CRM. A member of the host research group will act as responsible for liaison with the applicant and follow-up.

The normal duration of a postdoctoral grant is one year, although shorter stays are also possible with lower priority, and extensions for a second period may be negotiated. Applications can be submitted before October 31, 2009 by sending the required information (click here for details) to the CRM at crmcalls@crm.cat. Submissions will be reviewed through the CRM Scientific Advisory Board. A decision will be taken no later than two months after the deadline.

The gross salary will amount to 24,480 euros per year. Successful applicants will be provided with office space and working facilities at the Centre, as well as house-finding assistance if necessary. They are expected to start their stay at the CRM in September 2010 under normal circumstances. Delayed arrivals are acceptable under request, provided that the starting date of the stay does not surpass February 2011.
