Secondments for UVigo staff as part of the ExPliCit project

We are looking for UVigo people who are interested in gaining international experience within the framework of European projects. In particular, we are offering four positions to be seconded to different countries for one month in 2025 as part of the Horizon MCSA-SE ExPliCit project.

Requirements

  • To have a job contract at the Universidade de Vigo OR to be affiliated to a research group at the Universidade de Vigo (e.g., PhD candidates). 
  • To have a good level of English.

Description of the secondments

Secondments as part of the Explicit project have a minimum duration of 30 natural days. The budget allocated for each 30-day secondment is € 2300. This budget can be used for mobility, accommodation and subsistence during the secondment and to supplement the salary of the seconded employee.

During the secondment, the seconded person is expected to work on project tasks that have been previously agreed with the coordinator. However, the seconded person also has time during the secondment to develop their own work, project or research.
