ICN2 researchers bring decades of expertise across the field of nanoscience. We invest in the professional growth of every person at our institute: through workshops, seminars, language courses, specialised training and support for conference participation.

Our community spans more than 48 nationalities. The diversity of backgrounds, languages and perspectives is not incidental — it is one of the things that makes our science stronger.

ICN2 holds the HR Excellence in Research Badge since 2015, recognising our commitment to providing transparent, fair and researcher-friendly working conditions and fostering a stimulating and supportive working environment in line with the European Charter for Researchers.

We offer flexible working hours and access to the UAB Campus facilities — sport, services and a research environment that extends beyond the lab.

We support continuous learning and professional growth through tailored programmes for PhD and postdoctoral researchers, administrative staff and research support professionals. These are complemented by workshops, seminars, specialised training, language courses and participation in relevant conferences and events.

ICN2 provides competitive working conditions and benefits that support flexibility, well-being and career development. We promote a healthy work–life balance within a dynamic, international research environment.

Located at the UAB Campus with a vibrant academic environment, we are surrounded by leading research centres and infrastructures, including ICMAB, CNM and ALBA Synchrotron. We also have excellent public transport connections to reach the city of Barcelona.
