The Galicia Sur Health Research Institute, located at Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital in Vigo, Spain, is inviting applications for three Sara Borrell Postdoctoral Fellowships funded by the Carlos III Health Institute under the AES-LEIS 2026 call. These prestigious fellowships offer early-career researchers the opportunity to join multidisciplinary teams working in cutting-edge areas such as Rheumatology and Immune-Mediated Diseases, Translational Molecular Oncology, and Rare Diseases and Pediatric Medicine.

Successful candidates will be integrated into research groups comprising basic researchers, clinicians from various specialties, and pharmacists. The research lines are associated with several funded projects focusing on basic-translational research, clinical research, and technological innovation in health. Fellows will benefit from a collaborative environment and access to state-of-the-art facilities at one of Spain’s leading health research institutes.

The fellowship provides a 3-year contract, with a gross annual salary of €30,000 for the first two years and €35,000 for the third year. This funding is designed to support talented postdoctoral researchers as they advance their careers and contribute to impactful research in health sciences.
