HR Excellence in Research

Recruitment for a research position takes place through an open competition. When selecting candidates, the Institute follows the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, as well as the principles of Open, Transparent and Merit-based Recruitment (OTM-R). Consideration is given to excellence in research, scientific independence, academic record, mobility, as well as the candidate’s experience in other scientific areas. All competent candidates are encouraged to apply, regardless of gender, race or ethnicity, religion or worldview, disability, age or sexual orientation.
