The job offer attracted 14 applicants, of which only a few completely fulfilled the very strict eligibility criteria. Interviews were carried out in June, and both of the top two candidates are renowned international researchers in the fire related field and excellent research group leaders.
We are pleased to announce that Grunde Jomaas accepted our offer. On October 1, he will join ZAG and the FRISSBE team as the ERA Chair holder. More information on his career development and experiences can be found here: https://www.frissbe.eu/people https://www.frissbe.eu/people.
