Note that at this stage associate and full professors are preferred, but he says that “especially talented or ambitious assistant professors with research team project leadership experience in the US” will also be given consideration. If CALS is successful in hiring someone, then there would be openings for PhD students and postdoc positions on the team.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Note that Petteri would like to receive quick expressions of interest as soon as possible, and ideally before April 30. The successful candidate would be funded for up to €2.5M for 5 years, after which they would be employed permanently as a full professor (or other appropriate rank). This amount includes costs for a research team, so to be competitive, the applicant should be experienced enough to lead a research team, similar to an ERC consolidator: <a href="https://erc.europa.eu/apply-grant/consolidator-grant" class="">https://erc.europa.eu/apply-grant/consolidator-grant</a>.
