Consequently, the ERA Chair Holder (ECH) and her/his team will synthesize a group of outstanding and highly promising researchers with excellent research records and complementary expertise in the transplant immunology fields and sub-areas. On top of those, the ERA Chair Holder will also have to have proven managerial experience at a top research institution.
To achieve this objective, TIREX will launch an open, merit-based and transparent recruitment process for the ERA Chair Holder position, in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (the hiring of the ERA Chair Holder is expected to be completed on M6). The detail definition of the ERA Chair team structure would then be developed in line with the scientific priorities of the ERA Chair Holder and the requirements of the KU Transplant Immunology Research Centre.
