Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus 2023

The Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia’s 5th edition of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus is open until May 3. Candidates wishing to have the Communication and Society Research Centre as their host institution should submit their proposal through an online form until March 24.

The CECS will welcome applications that demonstrate a high potential for integration into the scientific strategy of the centre.

The centre will soon hold an information session on this call, seeking to clarify the stages of the application process – documents and useful information — and providing a space for sharing experiences with winners of previous editions of the CEECI.

The Individual Call is aimed at PhD holders of any nationality or stateless with a background in any scientific area who wish to develop their scientific research or technological development activity in Portugal.

The following reference levels are considered:

Junior researcher – PhD holders for 5 or fewer years, counted as of the closing date of the application submission period, with reduced postdoctoral research experience in the scientific area to which they are applying.

Assistant Researcher – PhD holders for over 5 years and up to 12 years, inclusive, counted as of the closing date of the application submission period, with a relevant curriculum in the scientific area to which they are applying.

Principal investigator – PhD holders for more than 12 years, as of the closing date of the application submission period, with a relevant curriculum vitae in the scientific area to which they are applying, demonstrating scientific independence in the last 3 years.

The call is open from April 4, 2022, to May 3, 2022, at 5 p.m. (Lisbon time).

The period for the association of the host institution to each individual application is from May 4, 2022, to May 15, 2022, at 5 p.m. (Lisbon time).

Applications should be submitted in English electronically through the platform to be made available in due course.
