Offer Description

The Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE) is a research center within the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the largest public research institution in Spain.

Founded in **** and situated in the Barcelona metropolitan area, the IAE is renowned for advancing frontier research in economics.

Its team of researchers is dedicated to scientific excellence, employing both theoretical and empirical approaches across a wide spectrum of economic areas.

Consistently recognized in international rankings, the IAE stands out as one of Europe's premier institutions for economic research. The IAE is also a founding member of the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE), a world-class institution that fosters collaboration among four academic and research units in Barcelona.

The BSE has consistently been awarded Severo Ochoa grants since the program was launched by Spain's State Research Agency.

This prestigious recognition is awarded to top research institutions in Spain that demonstrate scientific impact and leadership at the international level.

The IAE is engaged in graduate education by directing and contributing to BSE Master's programs.

We are equally dedicated to the IDEA doctoral program at UAB, where we mentor the next generation of scholars, equipping them with the guidance, resources, and support necessary to excel in their academic pursuits.

As a public institution, CSIC periodically opens "Permanent Job Calls," which are the way to achieve a permanent public position at CSIC as a civil servant.

You may consult these at CSIC's Virtual Platform.

There are 3 levels of permanent positions at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC): Tenured Scientist (Associate Professor level 1), Research Scientist (Associate Professor level 2) and Research Professor. CSIC typically opens an annual call for permanent positions, but this does not guarantee that the IAE will have an open position / open positions each year.

In general, the IAE Board must request positions from CSIC, submitting a list of highly qualified candidates who have expressed a strong interest in joining the institute.

Therefore, if you are interested, please contact ****** and check our website here or here. As a general rule, candidates should have a European Union citizenship, although there are a few exceptions to this.

To apply for a tenured civil servant position, candidates who have completed their Ph.D. thesis abroad must have their doctoral degree homologated or at least received the equivalence in Spain.

Equivalence is a simplified procedure that certifies, for academic purposes, that the training completed to obtain a foreign master's or doctoral degree is comparable to that required in Spain, both in terms of level and in relation to a specific academic area and field.

For reference, the process of obtaining the equivalence of a foreign Ph.D. degree can take up to several months.

Hence, the process should be started before there is a call announcing new positions. If you need the recognition of equivalence of your doctoral degree, the body responsible for issuing it will be any Spanish public or private university, provided that the university offers a doctoral program comparable to the one for which recognition is sought.

Some of the documents to be submitted will require an official translation into Spanish and might require legalization.

Within the European Union, the translation of public documents of a Member State is not required when they are accompanied by a standard multilingual form.

The legalization must be carried out by the Spanish consular office in the country where the document was issued, except in the case of countries that are signatories of the Hague Convention, where legalization is replaced by the apostille, issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin.

Neither legalization nor apostille is required for academic documents issued by EU Member States, signatories to the EEA Agreement or Switzerland.

Notes on Eligibility and Application

In general, candidates should have a European Union citizenship, although there are a few exceptions to this regulation.

To apply for a tenured civil servant position, candidates who have completed their Ph.D. abroad must have their doctoral degree homologated or at least recognized as equivalent in Spain.

The process of obtaining equivalence can take several months, and should be started before a call announcing new positions.
