Ikerbasque Research Fellows

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 Comission and the host institution where the researcher will develop their 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. 

The applicants must have their PhD completed between 01/01/2013 and 31/12/2021.

Applications from women are especially welcomed. The eligibility period will be extended under special circumstances such as maternity.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101034228.
