Scientific Careers in Psychology in Argentina

In Argentina, psychologists who wish to pursue research careers tend to apply for research positions at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET). This agency publishes open calls for new research positions every year (for Phd students, postdocs or permanent research fellows). Candidates’ applications are assessed according to their educational background, and their prior research experience (publications, conference presentations, student advising; National Scientific and Technical Research Council, 2021).The following analyses are intended to illustrate the evolution and actual situation of research in psychological and educational sciences in Argentina.
