After the successful selection of 10 fellows in the first calls, the postdoctoral programme CarrerasLeaders announces a new call to continue advancing research in the field of blood cancers. The programme is inviting applications from exceptional postdoctoral researchers to participate in a transformative 3-year journey at the Josep Carreras Institute within its research groups and core facilities.
CarrerasLeaders is an innovative global postdoctoral initiative created by the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) and the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Foundation. This unparalleled programme is dedicated to advancing research and innovation in the field of blood cancers, spanning from fundamental disease biology to the development and implementation of groundbreaking solutions in the clinical setting. Applicants are encouraged to pursue research within the broad realm of blood cancers, fostering creativity and exploration.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to join 40 research groups and 8 scientific platforms at the Josep Carreras Institute, as well as engage in international secondments across academic and non-academic institutions. This programme is made possible through co-funding from the European Commission Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND Programme, with the invaluable collaboration of the Josep Carreras Foundation and the scientific coordination led by Dr Marcus Buschbeck.
The application window is open from 23 July 22 to 27 October 2024, offering 6 postdoctoral fellows a unique opportunity to enhance their careers, develop leadership skills, gain independence, and achieve professional consolidation.
The key components of the programme are as follows:
Scientific Focus: blood cancers
Collaborative projects ideally with international and intersectoral secondments (between 3-11 months)
High-level scientific training-through-research and vocational training in transferable skills
Eligible candidates should have up to 7 years of postdoctoral experience and must not have resided or carried out their main activity in Spain for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the call deadline.
The selection process for fellows will be identical to previous calls, involving three stages of evaluation: an administrative eligibility check, external evaluation conducted by the Catalan Government Research Evaluation Agency (AGAUR), and a comprehensive interview assessment. Successful candidates can anticipate joining the program from February 2025 onwards.
For detailed information and application guidelines, please visit the programme’s official website and explore the supporting documents, Guides for the Applicants, and Evaluators. The call is also listed on the EURAXESS Website for added visibility.
