Campus Vida's Singular Research Centers Network at the University of Santiago de Compostela offers 3 postdoctoral contracts for 2 years.

The Network of Singular Research Centers in the areas of Medicine (CiMUS), Chemistry (CiQUS) and Information Technology (CiTIUS) hosts about 500 researchers, including 5 ERC Grants and 16 large European collaborative projects, and they are endowed with a self-demanding model of organization and operation, clearly differentiated from the classic university structures. The Centers work in a coordinated manner towards a cooperative and transdisciplinary research in strategic areas, oriented to scientific excellence and transfer of knowledge to society.
 
This International Postdoctoral Programme is partially funded by the Spanish Government and offers 3 postdoctoral positions for 2 years. Please download and read carefully the complete Call in the following link: International Postdoctoral Programme - Campus Vida.
 
The CiQUS hosts 31 PIs (including 3 ERC grantees), 30 postdocs and over 100 PhD students, who publish 80 JCR papers/year, with an average IF of 6,063 (2015). Since 2013 they published 41 papers in top-ranked journals, with IF>10, and obtained 3,5 million Eur/year from competitive R&D funds (30% international). During 2011-2015, CIQUS researchers obtained 15 granted patents (2 licensed) and collaborated in 3 new spin-offs.
