Call for 6-year research contracts in Portugal
For the fourth consecutive year, the portuguese research funding body is opening a call for 6-year research contracts in portuguese institutions. The contracts are at 4 different levels (from ‘postdoc’ to the equivalent of a non-tenured full professor). This year’s call will be open from 29 January 2021 to 26 February 2021, 5 p.m. (Lisbon time).
The Phenomenology group at LIP will be looking to support (act as host) applications we consider to have a serious chance of being successful and with a project that fits our goals (broadly speaking LHC and astroparticle phenomenology). While previous calls have proven very competitive with a success rate (contracts awarded / number of applicants) below 10%, the very high quality of candidates we supported allowed the group to secure one contract on each past call and, to a certain extent, defeat the dire statistics.
If you are aware of anyone that could be interested in applying please do let me know (or ask them to contact me directly). Please keep in mind that the decision process is long and thus successful candidates should not expect to be able to start their contract earlier that 12-15 months after application.
**** Information on the call (full information in englishwill be available by 29 Jan):
