Institution
ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions. Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.
Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats). The synchrotron light produced by 3 Ge V electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production/storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage.
Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium’s different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineer and technical job positions.
Located close to Barcelona, in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.
Facing an upgrade to ALBA II, a 4th generation facility, which will increase dramatically brightness and coherent flux, ALBA is in a phase of growth and dynamics.
Being a part of the ALBA team will promote your career and will give you the opportunities to explore new territories.

"El Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia del Gobierno traza la hoja de ruta para la modernización de la economía española, la recuperación del crecimiento económico y la creación de empleo, para la reconstrucción económica sólida, inclusiva y resiliente tras la crisis de la COVID, y para responder a los retos de la próxima década. Este Plan recibirá la financiación de los fondos Next Generation EU, entre ellos el Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia.
El componente 17 del Plan, denominado “Reforma institucional y fortalecimiento de las capacidades del sistema nacional de ciencia, tecnología e innovación”, pretende reformar el Sistema Español de Ciencia, Tecnología y de Innovación (SECTI) para adecuarlo a los estándares internacionales y permitir el desarrollo de sus capacidades y recursos. Se propone utilizar los recursos públicos para realizar cambios rápidos que adapten y mejoren la eficacia, la coordinación y colaboración y transferencia entre los agentes del SECTI y la atracción del sector privado, con gran impacto en el corto plazo sobre la recuperación económica y social del país. El compromiso claro del país de incrementar y acelerar la inversión en I+D+I de forma sostenible a largo plazo, hasta alcanzar la media europea en 2027, requerirá cambios estructurales, estratégicos y de digitalización en el sistema para ser eficiente. En este componente se marca una orientación estratégica y coordinada que permitirá la inversión en áreas prioritarias de I+D+I y el incremento del volumen de ayudas públicas a la innovación empresarial, en particular a las PYMEs.
Concretamente, esta convocatoria está incluida en la inversión I2 denominada “Fortalecimiento de las capacidades, infraestructuras y equipamientos de los agentes del Sistema Español de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (SECTI)” del componente 17 del Plan Nacional de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia. Esta convocatoria contribuye a la consecución del objetivo CID 260 dela Decisión de Ejecución del Consejo de 13 de julio relativa a la aprobación de la evaluación del plan de recuperación y resiliencia de España, consistente en fortalecer las infraestructuras científicas y la capacidad del Sistema Español de Tecnología e Innovación Científica."
