Pérez RodrÃguez" <nperez@xxxxxxx> *Call for Expressions of Interest for Postdoc and Tenure-track Researchers at the Canary Islands (Spain)* Living and conducting research based from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, is awesome. This could be your opportunity to join us! The *Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias *(INVOLCAN) and the *Environmental Research Division* of the *Instituto Tecnológico y de EnergÃas Renovables* (ITER) seek Post-Doctoral and Tenure-track researchers to join their research program. We are looking for researchers interested in the following topics: - *Volcano monitoring:* to improve volcano monitoring programs using geophysical, geochemical, remote sensing and petrological methods. - *Volcanic risk management:* to strengthen scientific and technical expertise in defining and quantifying volcanic hazard and risks, as well as educational programs to reduce volcanic risk. - *Groundwater resources in volcanic terrains:* to advance knowledge of oceanic volcanic island aquifer systems with the aim of improving water management plans. - *Exploration of geothermal resources:* to enhance the capabilities for detection and evaluation of geothermal resources using geological, geochemical, geophysical and remote sensing methods. - *Geoheritage, geodiversity and geotourism resources:* to promote research into geotourism in volcanic territories to raise public awareness of geoheritage and geodiversity and to promote its geoconservation. - *Air quality and environmental pollution:* to advance analytical methods and evaluation parameters for the emission of atmospheric pollutants from natural and anthropogenic sources, as well as general air quality. - *Food traceability:* to use applied isotope geochemistry to strengthen scientific and technical expertise to protect producers and consumers from fraud, and to contribute to the development of rigid controls on the authenticity and geographical origin of products. We seek engaging researchers who will enjoy our support for their application to the *Juan de la Cierva **Post-Docs (F and I types) *and the prestigious *Ram**ó**n y Cajal* *Research Contracts.* Spanish language skills are not mandatory. The selected candidates will submit a research proposal jointly with INVOLCAN or ITER to the Spanish R&D Programme. For those interested in applying for the *Juan de la Cierva **Post-Docs (F and I types)*, which are aimed at early career researchers, your Expression of Interest should include: - a brief outline (max 1 page) of a project that answers a research question within the themes of volcanology and volcano monitoring, geothermal exploration, societal resilience, geotourism, groundwater, environmental management,.. - your C.V. that reflects established or translatable skills that meet the project requirements. - confirmation of your eligibility (you must be a citizen of an EU member state) The characteristics of the Post-Doctoral positions are: - *Juan de la Cierva Post-Doc I-type:* for young researchers wishing to strengthen their Post-Doctoral career. Contract duration: 3 years. Gross salary between 29,000 â?¬/year and 33,000 â?¬/year with an additional 6,000 â?¬ for R+D activities. - *Juan de la Cierva Post-Doc F-type:* for young researchers wishing to start their Post-Doctoral career. Contract duration: 2 years. Gross salary 29,000 â?¬/year. For those interested in the *Ramón y Cajal* *Tenure-Track Research positions*, which are aimed at more established researchers, your Expression of Interest should include: - a brief overview (max 1 page) of your research interests and an outline how we can help you develop an innovative research program. - your C.V. that indicates how you will strengthen and/or complement the expertise of our research group, which is indicated here: https://www.iter.es/portfolio-items/publicaciones-en-revistas-del-sci/?lang=en&portfolioCats=153%2C155%2C160%2C149%2C167 - confirmation of your eligibility (Note: you can be any citizenship, so no worries for that) The characteristics of the *Ramón y Cajal* *Tenure-Track Research positions*: - For researchers with a distinguished scientific career. Contract duration: 5 years. Gross salary between 33,000 â?¬/year and 37,000 â?¬/year with an additional 40,000 â?¬ for R+D activities. Inquires can be directed toward Nemesio Perez, Scientist-in-charge of INVOLCAN and the Director of the ITER`s Environmental Research Division at nperez@xxxxxxx. The *deadline for expressions of interest is 21 December 2020*. The fellowship application deadline is *21 January 2021*. We hope to see you in sunny Tenerife!
