Dear colleagues,

our regional government (Generalitat Valenciana, Spain) has eventually (and
abruptly) just issued a call for generous postdoc positions at regional
institutions, like the University of Alicante (UA). In this case, the
reference research group is the Planetary Science group at the UA (CPUA).
Main characteristics and requirements:
*1) DEGENT.* Position for researchers holding a PhD *more** than 6 yr
(before 27/10/2020)* who have been working at least three years at reputed
institutions other than the one in which his/her PhD was achieved. These
are *4+2 yr contracts* (*at least 53 kEuros gross/yr*) and they come with
an *extra yearly fundindg up to 100 kEuros* to develop their own research
program (that may include student/postdoc hiring).

More details attached and in the following links: Spanish
<https://cvnet.cpd.ua.es/NovedadesProyectosPublicos/es/programa-propio-detalle/subvenciones-para-la-contratacion-y-estabilizacion-de-personal-investigador-doctor-de-excelencia-par-1621>

.

There are obviously a few positions (20 for all areas). Pressure has
tipically been around 3-4 in previous calls. The University of Alicante
(UA) will back as many candidates as *they* consider having chances of
success (The CPUA does not take this decision directly).

*2) EIGENT.* Position for researchers holding a PhD *less **than 6 yr
(after 27/10/2020)* who have been working at least two years at reputed
institutions other than the one in which his/her PhD was achieved. These
are *4+2 yr contracts* (*at least 42 kEuros gross/yr*) and they come with
an *extra yearly fundindg up to 30 kEuros* to develop their own research
program.

More details attached and in the following links: Spanish

There are obviously a few positions (20 for all areas for each position).
Pressure has tipically been around 3-4 in previous calls. We need to have
strong candidate for any of the two positions to be proposed by our group
to the University of Alicante (UA) -within the 5th September- to support
them.

   - *1st AND URGENT phase:*

**** Interested candidates for any position should send a DECLARATION OF
INTEREST to me (acb en ua.es <acb en ua.es>) not later than the 5th OCTOBER ****

The document to fulfill is attached to this email (Just ignore the parts in
red or blue colour. Only researchers in the Spanish system should fulfill
the part in blue).

Please, add Paula Benavidez (paula.benavidez en ua.es) in copy.

   - * 2nd* *phase:*

After that, once the candidate is backed by the UA, we'll walk you through
the online application. Deadline for applications is the *25th of October.*

The outcome is expected by the Spring of 2026. Positions should start
within six months since definitive concession (so, not later than
September-October 2027, if the administration sticks to its own schedule).

Were you aware of anybody interested in such positions, p*lease, feel free
to pass this notice around*.

Our group is mainly studying the phisics and dynamics of small bodies, it
is actively involved in the Hera and RAMSES missions, and has a branch
working on TNOs. We are open to new research lines (but still in the field
of planetary science).

Currently our group is formed by Paula G. Benavidez Lozano, Manuel Pérez
Molina, Eloy Peña Asensio and myself (UA staff), Antonio Santana Ros,
Po-Yen Liu and Laura M. Parro (Postdocs), Jose David Balseca Cisneros,
Tzu-Heng Chang and Ricardo Orduz (PhD students).

Thanks for your attention, and my apologies if you receive this call
through several mailing lists.
