ELIGIBLE TOPICS
The eligible topics are the institute's current or future research directions:
- Formal language theory and its applications.
- Biomolecular computing and nanotechnology.
- Bioinformatics.
- Language and speech technologies.
- Formal theories of language acquisition and evolutionary linguistics.
- Computational neuroscience.
Other related fields might still be eligible provided there exist
strong enough candidates for them.
REQUISITES AND DUTIES
The positions will be filled in under the form of a scholarship
(rather than a work contract). Spaniards working in Spain at present

is research, with possible doctoral supervising too. The scheme is
extremely competitive.

publications and scientific achievements and being on leave from
their home organization,
- PhD degree awarded earlier than 2000,
- not having occupied any sabbatical position in Spain since 2000,
- duration: 3-12 months,
- monthly salary in the interval 2,112-3,100 euros before taxes,

that the mentioned salary will not be taxed in Spain,
- travel grant of up to 3,000 euros,
- health insurance coverage for the researcher and her/his family.
Track B:
- high-potential researchers in the first steps of their scientific
career, having a remarkable record of publications and being on leave
from their home organization,
- PhD degree awarded later than 1999,

EVALUATION PROCEDURE
It will consist of 2 steps:
- a pre-selection based on CV and carried out by the host institute,
- a full proposal (application form + CV + research project + minor
bureaucratic items), to be assessed externally by the funding agency.
SCHEDULE
Expressions of interest are welcome until October 15, 2005. They
should contain the researcher's CV and mention "2005-12-A/B" (choose)
