Next Steps

After the eligibility check in Stage 1, eligible candidates will proceed to be reviewed by the selection committee specific to the project. Applicants scoring more than 75% will be included in the initial ranking list and invited to an (online) interview (Stage 2). The ViroiDoc project team anticipates notifying applicants about the outcome of their submission by the end of May at the latest.

We want to express our gratitude to all those who contributed to this exciting initiative. The wide range of expertise and enthusiasm shown by applicants will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the ViroiDoc project.

We look forward to the next phase of this journey and will keep you updated as we move forward.
