The TESEA Group at the University of Valladolid is offering a postdoctoral research opportunity through the Juan de la Cierva Programme, focusing on Analytical Chemistry. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team engaged in cutting-edge research projects dedicated to the development and validation of analytical methodologies for the determination of contaminants and bioactive compounds in diverse matrices. The research will emphasize advanced separation techniques, including UHPLC, GC, GC×GC, and SFC, making this position ideal for candidates with strong expertise in chromatographic methods. Applicants should have a PhD awarded between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 (or between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2025 for those with a disability equal to or greater than 33 percent, with proof of interruption if applicable). Candidates must apply to join an R&D center other than their PhD training institution and must not have applied for the Ramón y Cajal grants in 2025 or received funding from previous Juan de la Cierva-related programs. If the candidate participated in the 2024 Juan de la Cierva grant program, their application must have scored 50 points or higher. Required documents include a CV (maximum 4 pages) and other relevant documents (PhD, disability, etc.). Strong candidates will demonstrate an excellent publication record (10+ publications in high-impact journals) and proven international research experience, including research stays, conferences, collaborations, and publications. The position is highly competitive and offers the opportunity to contribute to impactful research in analytical chemistry, contaminants, and bioactive compound analysis. Funding is provided through the Juan de la Cierva Programme, a prestigious postdoctoral grant. Specific details regarding stipend and tuition coverage are not provided in the announcement. Interested candidates should send their CV and supporting documents to Prof. José Bernal del Nozal at [email protected] before December 3rd, 2025.
