Are you a researcher and would like to work at the Institute? This page will feature current job vacancies at the IAE PAN, both in the form of positions available at our departments and recruitment for grants carried out by our researchers.
Another way to become involved with the Institute is through a joint grant application. The Institute has experience in supporting grant applications offering post-doctoral employment funded both by domestic and international sources. These are currently the SONATINA (NCN) programmes for researchers from Poland and abroad, and programmes for researchers from abroad (including Poles): Ulam (NAWA) or Maria Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships.
Employment is also possible under NCN grants in the following competitions: SONATA (2-7 years after PhD), SONATA BIS (5-12 years after PhD) or OPUS (at any stage of career). Please contact us at ncn(at)iaepan.edu.pl.
