Support and opportunity for postdocs at a critical stage in their careers
Postdoctoral fellows joining IRB Barcelona gain access to the advanced research training and career development opportunities on offer at the Institute, all within a competitive international environment.
Aware that postdocs are at a critical stage of their careers, IRB Barcelona aims to provide them with the scientific, technical and administrative support that they need to excel. Postdocs generally join IRB Barcelona on an external grant obtained through national and international agencies.
A focus on interdisciplinarity
Courses and workshops on topics of particular interest to postdocs are offered regularly. These include topics such as lab management, communication, and science and grant writing, among others. Postdocs can also take advantage of the numerous conferences, seminars and other events in the Barcelona BioMed series.
Like the PhD student community, postdocs take an active interest in promoting cohesion activities among their peers. In this regard, the Postdoctoral Council organises scientific and social events and activities and liaises with IRB Barcelona's Administration team.
Contact the Postdoctoral Council if you want to find out more about the life of postdocs at the Institute.
An example of the many postdoc activities is the annual Postdoc Day, which brings together scientists from across the research programmes to showcase their latest results and explore possibilities for collaboration.
