In my experience, that's a very weird amount for a postdoc (it is usually lower, so I’d be very careful checking the conditions). If it is enough or not, it all depends on the city. Madrid and Barcelona are usually the most expensive, so 2000 a month for the three of you in the city center will be quite hard (rental can cut your cash to half for just one bedroom), so I’d look for accomodation outside and I’d compute by train/bus. You can PM me if you want and I can give you more insights about the city, university and so on. Happy to help!Wolvy_18 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:50 amHi everyone. My host professor in Spain recently told me that my MSCA proposal from last year will be funded through some new government funding scheme. Since this is a new funding scheme, he is not entirely sure about the conditions of the fellowship yet. He however says that the fellowship will be equivalent to the ones that are provided by the spanish government (~2000 euros per month after taxes including health benefits/maybe more/maybe less). Since I plan to move with my family and one year old child, I am wondering if the remuneration provided is sufficient to support a small family? My wife is presently not working. She just completed her PhD, and so we are also wondering if its better for her to find a position too anytime soon- if the remuneration is not sufficient enough? Additionally, would anyone know what could be the average rent for a one bedroom apartment for family be? Any comments, opinions or additional inputs welcome. Thanks.
