Project description
Postdoctoral fellowship in biomedicine and health sciences
Spain’s consortium ‘Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red’ (CIBER) is a public research entity that funds biomedical research. It promotes research excellence and builds a critical mass of researchers in numerous areas of biomedicine and health science fields. The EU funded ARISTOS project will enable CIBER to provide a postdoctoral programme that will create 27 postdoctoral research staff positions covered in CIBER groups (each for three years). Participants will conduct their research project and approach the private sector by collaborating with companies. Also, training courses for career augmentation, learning new skills and scientific conferences will stimulate the exchange of knowledge and mobility in clinical, academic and private segments.
Objective
ARISTOS aims to be the next Postdoctoral Program in Biomedicine and Health Sciences cofunded by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND scheme and the Consorcio Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red M.P. (CIBER) in Spain. With a total duration of 60 months, it will offer 27 postdoctoral positions for three years each, at CIBER groups led by distinguished principal investigators. Through an open and merit-based recruitment procedure, it will provide excellent opportunities for international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary research and training under attractive working conditions. CIBER is a public research consortium that embraces 511 research groups which belong to more than 100 different Affiliated Institutions (universities, research centers and hospitals) around Spain. It is currently employing more than 800 researchers and clusters some of the most important facilities of biomedicine research in Spain directly participating in more than 17 technology and research platforms. As a network of excellence is tasked with being a reference in research and innovation in Spain and internationally. Fellows participating in the ARISTOS Program will have the opportunity to carry out a research project in on a topic related with disease prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment and come closer to the private sector by collaborating with medical and healthcare companies during their secondments or special events like the Entrepreuners Dissemination Days. Beyond the Fellows' training through their own research, the ARISTOS Program will also provide to the Fellows career enhancing opportunities through training courses in research techniques, complementary workshops for transferable skills, scientific meetings and conferences and the access to international scientific and clinical networks, with the final aim to promote knowledge exchange and the mobility among the academic, clinical and private sectors.
