Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Barcelona Institute for Science and Technolgy in Spain

PROBIST is a post-doctoral fellowship Program lead by the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology. The fellowships will be implemented in top research centres in the Barcelona (Spain) area.

The participating centres are:

Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO, https://www.icfo.eu/)

Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ, http://www.iciq.org/)

Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2, http://icn2.cat/en/)

Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE, http://www.ifae.es/eng/)Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona, https://www.irbbarcelona.org/en)

PROBIST applicants will have complete research freedom. Applicants may subscribe to one or several generic research topics published with the calls. Once pre-selected they may design their research project proposal with a research group of their choice in the participating BIST centres.
