News:
(2024) Shortlisted postdoc candidates have been invited for Zoom interviews. Longlisted candidates might be invited for an interview at a later stage. The assessment committee is still going through the PhD applications. Please contact HR if you have any questions about the process, as I am not allowed to be in contact with candidates prior to the interviews.
