Universidad UTE Opportunities

The official 2026–2027 call is open through the Universidad UTE Postdoctoral Department and provides an online application route. The call covers postdoctoral programs in Public Health and Architecture and Urban Planning. Appointments last 24 months and may be renewed for up to 12 additional months after favorable performance review and subject to institutional or external funding. Researchers must remain in Ecuador for at least 65% of the contractual period. The official page does not state a closing date, so no deadline is inferred.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D.), or exceptionally provide official certification that the doctoral defense has been approved, and must demonstrate an academic and scientific record related to the selected program. Required materials include publication links, a curriculum vitae in the stated funding format, two academic reference letters from researchers or academics directly involved with the applicant's research during the previous three years, at least one identified funding proposal, a motivation letter, identity document or passport, and a research proposal aligned with UTE research lines.
