Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025
The LOGOS Research Group wishes to inform young researchers in philosophy at the postdoctoral stage of their careers —who were or will have been awarded their PhD between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2025— that the Spanish State Agency for Research (AEI) has published the 2025 call for Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral fellowships. These fellowships are for three years and aim to promote the incorporation of early-career researchers into Spanish R&D centres in order to help complete their postdoctoral training.
The application platform for individual candidates will open on 25 November 2025 and close on 17 December 2025 at 14:00 (Madrid time). Institutional submissions (by the host university or research centre) must be completed earlier, by 10 December 2025 at 14:00 (Madrid time). Please note that, as usual, the University of Barcelona may set an internal deadline for complete applications that coincides with, or is slightly earlier than, the institutional deadline.
Information concerning the internal deadline will be announced soon on the LOGOS webpage (http://www.ub.edu/grc_logos/). (Our webpage is currently undergoing a systematic update to https. If you encounter any difficulties in accessing it, please contact logos.barcelona@gmail.com.)
Applicants need an academic sponsor who holds a PhD and has a valid contract with a Spanish university for the full duration of the fellowship. LOGOS members who meet these criteria are happy to sponsor suitable applicants.
Researchers interested in seeking such sponsorship are encouraged to contact a Senior LOGOS member working in their field, or else the Coordinator, by email. Expressions of interest should be accompanied by an updated CV.
LOGOS particularly welcomes expressions of interest from female researchers and members of other underrepresented groups.

- LOGOS student Markel Kortabarria was awarded his PhD on 21 October 2025. Congratulations, Markel!
- We grieve the passing of Juan José Acero. After a stay in Helsinki with Jaakko Hintikka in the early 1970s, Acero taught a few years at the University of Barcelona, where he provided early LOGOS members Genoveva Martí and Manuel García-Carpintero with a first exposure to analytic philosophy of language, both in undergraduate courses and in informal seminars he organized to feed the interest that his excellent teaching had generated. In the academic year 1978-79 he moved to the University of Granada, where he stayed for the rest of his career and where he was responsible for the creation of another important analytic philosophy group. He was instrumental in the creation of the Spanish Analytic Philosophy Society (SEFA) and served on its boards. In addition to the enormous influence of his teaching and work, we were fortunate he was chosen from very early on to give advice to several Spanish funding agencies, making sure that only scientific criteria had a role in the allocation of funds and job appraisals.

[February 2025] We lament the passing of our dear friend and colleague Francesc Pereña. Francesc was a member of LOGOS for many, many years. His expertise in phenomenology, and his commitment as a colleague and teacher who trained some of us who are now LOGOS Seniors, enriched the group’s life and helped LOGOS prosper. He also played an important role in the launching of the APhil Master and PhD programme. We are indebted to him and grateful for all the years we shared.
