ICIQ welcomes two postdoctoral researchers through Juan de la Cierva Grants

The Juan de la Cierva Call 2023 has facilitated the incorporation of two postdoctoral researchers at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) to pursue their postdoctoral training. This initiative, announced late last year, aims to support emerging scientists by offering them opportunities to develop their careers at leading Spanish R&D centers.

ICIQ is proud to welcome Dr. Jesús Rodrigálvarez who will join Prof. Antonio M. Echavarren and Dr. Yufen Chen who will be at Prof. Katherine Villa Group, as they embark on their postdoctoral journeys. Both researchers are set to make significant contributions to their respective fields, advancing cutting-edge projects under the mentorship of ICIQ’s research groups.

The Juan de la Cierva Grants, managed by Spain’s Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, aim to strengthen the careers of promising researchers while fostering excellence in R&D. By welcoming Dr. Rodrigálvarez and Dr. Chen, ICIQ continues to empower the next generation of scientists and drive innovation in chemistry and beyond.

These contracts are part of the grants JDC2023-051192-I and JDC2023-051508-I, funded by MCIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and co-funded by the FSE+
