Home / Opportunities / Becas de Movilidad para Estancias Postdoctorales en Universidades Andaluzas AUIP 2027 (Postdoctoral Research Stays at Andalusian Universities)
AUIP funds 50 postdoctoral research stays a year for Latin American PhD holders at public universities in Andalusia, Spain. Each grant is worth up to €3,000 — covering your flight (up to €1,200) plus €600 a month for the stay — aimed especially at young researchers who want to build lasting cooperation between research groups.
Why it is notable: it is one of the few mobility grants reserved specifically for postdoctoral researchers from Latin America, with an explicit young-researcher focus and two application windows a year.
