ISGlobal has two campuses in Barcelona -Campus Clínic and Campus Mar- and an office in Madrid. Campus Clinic includes wet labs in a separate building. Each campus is associated to a hospital and to a University (University of Barcelona for Campus Clinic, Universitat del Mar for Campus Mar). The University of Barcelona provides ISGlobal researchers access to its CRAI resource center, which includes a wide array of e-journals in different scientific fields. Our policy is to promote flexible working arrangements that allow staff members to organise their work schedule most efficiently and satisfactorily while meeting their objectives. We have a hybrid model of work in which telework is coordinated with on-site work. In the office, we use a shared-desk system in which you can reserve a table on any campus via the intranet. All tables have a screen and network connection. Each staff must have their personal keyboard and mouse, which they can keep in a locker at the end of the day. To communicate, we all use the Google Suit: Chat and Meet, which are currently all integrated into Gmail. The Frontiers fellow will have access to all our offices and services in both campuses. Upon arrival, we will provide her/him with an ISGlobal Gmail account and will connect her/him with the communications department and the host researchers.
