Boost your research career at the forefront of chemistry, biology, advanced materialsand health-related sciences.

CICA, Interdisplinary Centre for Chemistry and Biology at the University of A Coruña, invites applications for Postdoctoral Researcher positions within the MSCA-COFUND programme TALENTGAL. 

This is a unique opportunity to develop your own research project with full financial support in a highly international, interdisciplinary, and innovation-driven environment, while benefiting from advanced training and strong career development support.

TALENTGAL Call 1

TALENTGAL, promoted by the Xunta de Galicia, aimsto attract excellent postdoctoral researchers to the 10 Research Centres of Excellence of theCIGUS Network (Galicia, Spain). The programme fosters international mobility, advanced training, and career development within three thematic areas: Health & Biomedicine, Science & Life Sciences, and Engineering & Technology.

TALENTGAL Call 1 is open from 20 May 2026 until 23 July 2026.

A total of 20 fully funded MSCA postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded across all participating CIGUS Research Centres. While no fixed allocation of positions is assigned per centre, a minimum of one fellowship per hosting institution will be guaranteed, provided that at least one candidate hosted by the centre achieves a final evaluation score of 70% or higher. The remaining fellowships will be allocated strictly according to the overall ranking of all eligible candidates across the three thematic areas, following an open, transparent, and merit-based selection process in line with MSCA principles.

CICA as hosting institution 

CICA participates in TALENTGAL as one of the CIGUS Research Centres of Excellence, offering a dynamic and collaborative research environment, combining scientific excellence with strong links to industry and public stakeholders.

CICA works to generate innovative knowledge capable of providing solutions to global challenges in health, food, new materials, and the environment. The centre’s scientific team applies a holistic and multidisciplinary approach through the joint work of researchers from the fields of chemistry, biology, geology, and medicine, as well as, more broadly, the experimental and health sciences.

Selected fellows will be integrated into established research groups at CICA, supervised by experienced principal investigators with strong international track records an will receive structured support to foster independence, scientific excellence and high-impact outcomes.
