Phase 1: Call for proposals among the research centres of Aragon

On February 2th 2007 Aragon I+D launched its second call for proposals addressed to the Research Centres and Organizations in Aragon.

The Research Centres were invited to submit, before March 2th 2007, specific proposals for the recruitment of researchers within their specific fields of activity. In these proposals the scientific profiles were defined, with specific requirements regarding the experience and background of the researchers to be recruited.

The proposals also described the main challenges in each field, the expected impact of the recruitment and the research resources available in each Centre.

As a result of this first call, 40 proposals were received by the closing date (March 2th, 2007). These proposals were subjected to a process of evaluation and analysis, and as a consequence 20 profiles were selected by the Board of Trustees on March 30th 2007 as positions to be funded by Aragon I+D (see Phase 2). Consolidation of each of these positions will depend on the successful outcome of the recruitment procedure. If suitable candidates are not found for a given position, the resultant funds will be used in the following call for proposals.

Phase 2: Call for applications: 20 positions funded by Aragon I+D are now open at different research centres of Aragon

Aragon I+D has launched a call for applications to fill the positions selected by the Board. The corresponding scientific profiles were advertised in suitable specialised forums, as well as in the Journal Nature (April 26th). The call for applications is open to any candidate that fills the requirements of academic background and research experience, irrespective of nationality. Applications must be downloaded from this site and submitted by email to araid@araid.es before 14.00 h (GMT) of June 15th 2007.

Characteristics of the positions

20 full-time positions will be offered, and it is generally expected that the successful candidates will become permanent staff of Aragon I+D, while carrying out their activity in the research centre to which their position has been allocated. The performance of the researchers will be periodically subjected to external evaluation.
Salaries will be commensurate with the experience and potential of the candidates and will therefore be negotiated individually. Start-up research packages may also be arranged in certain cases.
For foreign nationals, Aragon I+D will assist with visa and work permit procedures. The contract will be effective only when the selected candidates are able to work legally in Spain.

Requisites for the candidates

The candidates are expected to have a minimum of 6 years of postdoctoral experience, with at least two years spent in a centre different from that where the position is advertised.
The candidates must fulfil the academic background and research experience requisites specified in the corresponding scientific profile. This will be assessed by an independent evaluation commission, whose responsibility will be to rank the different candidates for a given position according to their merits and potential. Based on this assessment, and on interviews conducted with the best candidates, Aragon I+D will make the corresponding offers, after approval of the Board of Trustees.
