Guide to Applicants
The ways to join our centre are based on competitive calls for contracting researchers, where ACHUCARRO can be a host institution (see Recruitment programmes below).
Our policy and process for recruitment processes follows the Open, Transparent, Merit-based Recruitment (OTM-R) principles.
Nevertheless, in the cases where applicants need a reference or support letter, we request a Research Statement with specific details of future research plans and objectives. Together with the CV or resume of the candidate, we use both to assess the alignment of the applicant with the Research Strategy of ACHUCARRO. If our selection panels decide to support a candidate, the Research Statement is considered as a contract between the researcher and ACHUCARRO, in terms of the career development and follow-up of each person.
We also provide support with the different application processes to those applicants that pass our internal selection process.
