[emcai] Job annoucement - EMCA postdoc

[Jakub Mlynář]

Dear all,

Following up on my earlier message below, just a quick note that official
applications are now open via the university platform:

- Two postdoc positions (80%) -
https://www.hevs.ch/fr/recruitee/assistantes-ou-assistants-postdoc-80-***-postdoctoral-researcher-80-213446
- Research assistant position (50%) -
https://www.hevs.ch/fr/recruitee/assistante-ou-assistant-de-recherche-50-***-research-assistant-50-213449

The announcements say that it's a one-year contract (renewable), which is
what our HR department requires for such positions, but the idea is that
the team will be working together for the entire duration of the four-year
project.

Given that our EMCA research will be based on an in-depth fieldwork at the
Lausanne University Hospital, knowledge of French is an important criterion.

All the best,

Jakub
