Level 1: The appointed candidate will have a doctoral degree and 0-4 years of postdoctoral research experience in the relevant research areas or will have > 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience in the relevant CÚRAM research areas.

Level 2: The appointed candidate will have a doctoral degree and > 4 years of postdoctoral research experience in the relevant research areas or will have > 8 years of full-time equivalent research experience in the relevant research areas.
