MSC Actions

Join our vibrant international community of postdoctoral researchers!

We aim to promote innovative research, advanced training and knowledge transfer on the archaeology of ancient civilizations and cultures. ICAC’s broad and interdisciplinary view on Classical Archaeology makes it an ideal centre to boost your scientific career.

Apply for a MSCA IF call (no date)

There are two main requirements of eligibility to apply for an MSCA-IF with us at ICAC:

Candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent research experience of at least four years’ full-time research experience by the time of the call deadline).
Candidates can be of any nationality but must not have lived or worked in Spain for more than 12 months during the three years up to the closing date of the call.

Visit our leading groups in landscape archaeology, Roman territories, ancient city and architecture, archaeometry, protohistory, material culture, economy and trade, late antiquity, and Greco-Roman eastern Mediterranean.

We are pioneering some of the most innovative techniques such as automated drone-based intensive survey, archaeological machine learning, cathodoluminescence (CL), photogrammetry, 3D laser scanning, or archaeomorphological digital mapping.

Many more topics are available together with multiple study areas all over the Mediterranean and beyond where new research can be conducted as part of ongoing or independent projects.

ICAC is an excellent research centre to develop MSCA projects, with state-of-the-art equipment, laboratories, a library, and teaching and meeting spaces. It offers MSCA fellows the opportunity to apply for additional funding to complete their research and optional teaching and supervisory roles are available to help further the fellows’ careers.

Contact one of the available supervisors to discuss a possible project. We are very experienced in MSCA project preparation and have had a high success rate during the last few years.
