ICM Cares

The ICM Cares about your career development!

At the ICM, we have launched the ICM Cares program, an institutional landmark commitment focused on guaranteeing a high quality work environment and continuous attention to people's needs at the core of the Institute's scientific excellence.

The ICM Cares program

The ICM (Institut de Ciències del Mar) is a research institution where you can develop your career from the predoctoral stages up to a more senior position: opportunities for competitive grants and stable positions as a scientist, technician or support staff are published, when available, in our job offer page.

If interested, we encourage you to review our Research Groups and Services & Facilities and contact the PIs or Responsible technicians of your interest to share with them your willingness and your proposal in an early stage before submitting it, in order to be prepared once the opportunity arises.

ICM Cares is a program designed to take care of our institute people throughout the five stages of the Employee Life Cycle (ELC):

How does ICM Cares support your career development and work environment?

We are interested in Attracting & Recruiting Talent, from established and recognised profiles to early stage researchers (Masters and PhD students). Fellowship positions, grant calls and contractual positions are regularly published, and, in case of competitive calls, as soon as we get the Expression of Interest sponsored by an ICM researcher, we support, advise, train and review your proposal in order to maximize your success. 

Once you are recruited, we are happy to welcome you Onboard, with a set of welcome packages adapted to each profile, and a welcome day aimed at ensuring an easy transition for you and make you feel part of the ICM from the very beginning. 

Your Career Development will be enriched with a tailored offer of training courses, mentoring programs, knowledge sharing and other activities that will make sure you enlarge your skills portfolio and boost your personal growth. 

A positive work environment, based on your Engagement & Motivation, will be nurtured by a mix of policies and tools (conflict management, harassment prevention, leadership guidelines, psychological healthcare support, etc.) and group activities geared at listening to people, discussing topics of common interest, detecting the workplace climate, and with spaces of leisure to enjoy life at our Institute. 

Finally, when your time at ICM comes to an end, a service of “career counseling” will help your Off-boarding and follow-up of your professional path.
