three years. Further extension of contracts will depend upon scientific progress and project
acquisition.
Female candidates and disabled candidates who are equally qualified will receive preference.
The “Research Group for Healthy Ageing”:
The group concentrates on the positional and functional exploration of genes in human
longevity. References: e.g. PNAS 2005, 102: 7906; PNAS 2009, 106: 2700; Mech Ageing
