ELIGIBLE TOPICS

- Language and automata theory and its applications.
- Biomolecular computing and nanotechnology.
- Bioinformatics.
- Language and speech technologies.
- Formal theories of language acquisition and evolutionary linguistics.
- Computational neuroscience.

Other related fields might still be eligible provided there are strong enough 
candidates for them.

The scheme, which is funded by the European Commission, is highly competitive 
(with 5-10% of success rate last time). It includes 3 streams (IE, II, OI), 
which are described below.

--------------------------------------------

IE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

It aims at providing advanced training tailored to the researchers' 
individual needs with a view to adding different/complementary scientific 
competencies. This in order to allow them to reach or reinforce a position of 
professional maturity and independence or to permit them to resume their 
career. The duration is between 1 and 2 years. Applicant researchers should 
be from EU or Associated States with at least 4 years research experience or 
a PhD and willing to spend a mobility period working in a host institution 
located in another EU or Associated State, different from his/her own and 
from that where they have been recently active.

JOB PROFILE
 
- The position is intended to develop an advanced training + research project 
in collaboration with the host institute for 12-24 months. As well, some 
doctoral teaching and supervising is expected.
- It will be filled in under the form of a work contract.
- There is no restriction on the candidate's age.
- Though there is no particular preference, candidates in the first decade of 
their research career are encouraged to apply.

ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS
 
- Having got or being about to get a PhD degree by September 19, 2006 at the 
latest.
- Being national of any of the 25 EU Member States, or of the 4 EU Associated 
Candidate States (Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Turkey), or of the 5 EU 
Associated States (Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland), who 
has not resided and carried out her/his main activity in Spain for more than 
12 months in the last 3 years (reference date: January 19, 2006).
- Nationals from third countries that have resided and carried out their main 
activity in any EU Member State or Associated State for at least 4 of the 
last 5 years (reference date: January 19, 2006) are eligible, too.
- Spaniards are ineligible unless they have resided and carried out their 
main activity in a third country for at least 4 of the last 5 years 
(reference date: January 19, 2006).

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
 
- A generous monthly living allowance depending on the researcher's 
experience, family situation, and sort of project (lab or non-lab), plus a 
travel allowance, a mobility allowance, and a contribution to other expenses 
(for instance, conference participation).
- Health coverage will be provided by the Spanish public Social Security 
system.
- Candidates from developing countries or emerging/transition economies will 
be eligible later for a reintegration grant in their home country for half 
the time they spent in Spain.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

It will consist of 2 steps:

- a pre-selection based on CV and carried out by the host institute,
- an on-line application to be assessed externally by the funding agency.

SCHEDULE

Expressions of interest are welcome until December 31st, 2005. They should 
contain the researcher's CV and mention "2005-14-IE" in the subject line. The 
outcome of the preselection will be reported immediately after.

Pre-selected candidates will be guided and supported in the application 
process by the host institute. The deadline for completing the whole process 
is January 19, 2006.

II

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

It aims at attracting top-class researchers from third countries to work and 
undertake research training in Europe from 1 to 2 years (incoming phase), 
with a view to developing mutually-beneficial research cooperation. In the 
case of emerging and transition economies and developing countries, the 
scheme may assist fellows to return to their country of origin for, 
typically, half the duration of the first phase (re-integration phase).

JOB PROFILE

- The position is intended to develop an advanced training + research project 
in collaboration with the host institute for 12-24 months. As well, doctoral 
teaching and supervising are expected.
- It will be filled in under the form of a work contract.
- There is no restriction on the candidate's age.
- Only experienced (top-class) researchers have a real chance to succeed.

ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS
 
- Having got or being about to get a PhD degree by September 18, 2006 at the 
latest.
- Not being national of any of the EU Member States or Associated States.
- Nationals from third countries that have resided and carried out their main 
activity in any EU Member State or Associated State for at least 4 of the 
last 5 years (reference date: January 18, 2006) are ineligible.
- Researchers from all other countries are eligible provided they have not 
spent more than 4 years during the previous 5 years in any of the 
above-mentioned EU countries.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
 
- A generous monthly living allowance depending on the researcher's 
experience, family situation, and sort of project (lab or non-lab), plus a 
travel allowance, a mobility allowance, and a contribution to other expenses

them to return to their country of origin, with typically half the duration 
of the first phase.

OI

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

It aims at reinforcing the international dimension of the career of European 
researchers by giving them the opportunity to be trained in a world-level 
third country research organisation (from 1 to 2 years), and then to apply 
the experience gained in a return host institution in a Member State or 
Associated State (typically half the duration of the first phase). It also 
aims at responding to the researchers' needs in terms of complementing their 
training in inter/multi-disciplinary research, research management skills and 
intersectoral mobility.

JOB PROFILE

- The position is intended to develop first an advanced training + research 
project in a world-level third country research organisation (not in any of 
the EU Member States or Associated States) for 12-24 months, and then to 
apply the experience gained to the host institute for 6-12 months. In the 
second phase, doctoral teaching and supervising are expected too.
