Materials International Postdoctoral Programme in Materials Science and Engineering

Project description

Postdoctoral research in materials science and engineering

Materials science and engineering have become increasingly important and promising in various economic sectors, particularly in industry and industrial applications, driving improvements in both efficiency and sustainability. It is now one of the four strategic sectors in Madrid’s regional research and innovation smart specialisation strategy. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ATENEA project will launch an open call and run ten 30-month postdoctoral research (PR) fellowships, aimed at training and transferring key scientific knowledge and skills to highly qualified and promising researchers. The programme will leverage its experienced staff, thorough planning, significant research support, and principles of open, transparent, and merit-based recruitment.

Objective

The ATENEA programme will offer ten 30-month Postdoctoral Research (PRs) fellowships in the field of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), a key knowledge area for many economic activities and one of the four strategic sectors of the Madrid’s Regional Research and Innovation Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) where the project will be implemented. The programme will launch one open call during its 48 months, offering high-level, interdisciplinary and intersectoral training, both in core and advanced scientific topics and transferable skills. After the programme, the fellows will be well-versed experienced researchers with highly attractive profiles for the academic and non-academic sectors, particularly for industry.

IMDEA Materials Institute (IMDEA Materials) is the beneficiary and coordinator of the ATENEA programme. IMDEA Materials is acknowledged as one of Spain’s leading research institutions and received the “María de Maeztu” (MdM) unit of excellence accreditation from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.

ATENEA will attract researchers worldwide through Open, Transparent, and Merit-based recruitment (OTM-R) principles. A two-step evaluation process, carried out by experienced and qualified external experts from an international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary pool, will guarantee the selection of first-class researchers. The ATENEA programme will be implemented by experienced staff in training and research support and will be governed by a consolidated management structure to guarantee its success. All supervisors have an outstanding research track record and extensive experience supervising, guiding and promoting young and more experienced researchers.

Additionally, the ATENEA programme will allow PRs to improve their career prospects by carrying out intersectoral secondments within an associated partners’ network of 21 organisations.
