6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 From: "Nemesio M. Pérez RodrÃguez" <nperez@xxxxxxx> *INVOLCAN and ITER (Canary Islands, Spain) seek researchers to join their applied research programs* Call for Expressions of Interest for Torres Quevedo Research Contracts (Spanish government- funded permanent positions) *The deadline to submit expressions of interest is 20 December 2022!!* Living and conducting research based in the Canary Islands is awesome, and 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) are looking for researchers across a range of disciplines. We are especially interested in the following applied industrial research topics: 1. Noble gas isotopes studies for geothermal exploration 2. Agro-food traceability through the use of isotopes 3. Evaluation of the mineral-medicinal potential of groundwaters in Tenerife 4. Electromagnetic methods for geothermal exploration 5. Geodetic methods for geothermal exploration 6. Integrated geophysical studies for geothermal exploration 7. Seismic source studies for the exploration and characterization of geothermal resources 8. Statistical methods to evaluate the geothermal potential 9. Seismic tomography studies for the exploration and characterization of geothermal resources 10. Use of Distributed Acoustic Sensing for underground exploration for industrial purposes We seek engaging researchers who will benefit from our support and collaboration for their application to the *Torres Quevedo* *Research Contracts* program from the Spanish Government. 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. The aim of the Torres Quevedo call is to promote the implementation of industrial research projects. These can be experimental development or feasibility studies within companies, national technological centres, national technology innovation support centres, business associations and science and technology parks. Applicants are required to hold a PhD as this funding call aims to promote the professional careers of research staff. This, in turn, will stimulate demand in the private sector for personnel qualified to undertake R&D development projects, helping to consolidate and promote new technological companies. For those interested, your Expression of Interest should include: (1) your C.V. reflecting established or transferable skills that meet the requirements of one of the research project directions listed above. (2) proof of eligibility (your PhD obtained no later than 2022) (3) proof of citizenship (all nationalities welcome) The characteristics of the *Torres Quevedo* *Research Contracts *are: (a) *Permanent position* as a researcher in INVOLCAN or ITER (b) Gross salary will be between 29.838,96 â?¬/year and 36.366,00 â?¬/year depending on your CV. Inquiries can be directed toward Nemesio M. Perez, Scientist-in-charge of INVOLCAN and the Director of the ITERâ??s Environmental Research Division, at nperez@xxxxxxx. *The deadline for expressions of interest is 20 December 2022.* The response from the Spanish Government will be delivered no earlier than *October 2023*. We hope to see you in sunny Tenerife! Did you know: the ancients called the Canary Islands the "fortunate isles"? They weren't wrong then, and they wouldn't be now either. Best regards Nemesio M. Pérez *Our Research Facilities:* ITER and INVOLCAN have extensive facilities, technology, and equipment for conducting your research.
