Scientific staff is formed by the permanent research staff (57), associated researchers (1), postdoctoral fellows (42), and PhD researchers (74), giving a total of 174 researchers, of which 32 % are non-Spanish.
The support staff (50) is formed by the scientific services technicians, the administration staff, the library staff, the IT department and the maintenance and safety staff. Of these, 54 % have a permanent contract and 42 % are female.
In addition, we have visitors (5), undergraduate and master students (55), and the staff working also in spin-offs (11).
Of the total staff, 60 % are male (40 % female) and 74 % are Spanish (26 % Non-Spanish).
This figure plots the ICMAB permanent and non-permanent researchers evolution since 2005 and until 2016. The ratio between non-permanent and permanent is 1.7 in 2016. The growth rates were positive until 2011, and from 2014 until 2016. These two last years we have experienced a growth, although most of the new staff is non-permanent.
The permanent staff since 1992 has been on a constant growth until 2013, from which it has experienced a light decay.
ICMAB permanent researchers age distribution by gender. We can observe that only 10 % of the researchers are under 40 years old, and that 22 % are over 60. The average age is 52 years old. Moreover, 62 % of the permanent researchers are male.
