Below is a list of PhD, postdoc, and tenure-track positions that open regularly in Barcelona (most of them yearly). Some of them are specific to UPC, but most of them can be used to go to any Spanish university; see a list of universities with OA & QIT.

Some links are unfortunately only in Catalan or Spanish. However, international students can apply unless there is a formal language requirement.

For up-to-date deadlines, visit this link. For UPC tenure-track calls unrelated to grants, visit this link.

The lists are currently under construction.

  2 year postdoc positions to join any Spanish university. Candidates must have done their PhD outside of the host university.
  Link to last call.

• Ramón y Cajal
  Although technically a 5 year postdoc, most universities treat these grants as tenure-track positions. Comes with a 50.000€ package for research related activities.

• ICREA Research Professor
  Arguably the most prestigious positions within the Catalan system, ICREA professors have a small (or no) teaching load and their salary is comparable with that of a Full Professor. These also come with a start-up package.
  The professorhips are not tied to any university, in the sense that candidates need to contact at least one Catalan institution to get an expression of interest and submit it with their application. There is a yearly call, but the areas change every time.
