Joint FCT-ALBA Postdoctoral Program

The Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (ALBA) is accepting applications until May 31st for 4 postdoctoral positions with the purpose of developing research projects that will involve Portuguese and Spanish scientific institutions, in the following scientific areas: biosciences, catalysis, batteries, and materials for energy and nanomaterials.

This action arises within the scope of the Collaboration Agreement between FCT and ALBA , established in February 2019, which aims to promote scientific collaboration between the two countries, in the spirit of improving scientific and technical exchange, developing common projects and facilitating access to scientific instrumentation in the institutions considered by the two scientific communities. 

This agreement created the conditions for collaboration and the various possible lines of activities, among which is the creation of a joint Postdoctoral Program that includes the joint financing of 4 postdoctoral positions, one for each of the 4 scientific areas mentioned above. The summaries of the selected projects, which will be developed by the selected candidates, as well as their teams and scientific areas, can be found here .
