The tenure track selection procedure follows international standards. Tenure track scientists are typically hired upon international calls. An international Search Committee, consisting of three external members, one representative of the STC, and one representative of the Recruitment and Promotion Committee (RPC- an internal committee consisting of Tenured PIs, Center coordinators and Deputy Directors), is established by the Scientific Director to evaluate applications and create a short list of candidates to interview. Short listed candidates are invited at the IIT Central Research Laboratories for a public oral presentation and for the interview. Candidates may access the tenure track at junior (stage 1) or senior level (stage 2 without tenure or tenured). The maximum duration of the tenure track is 5 + 5 years (stage 1 + stage 2). A peer review evaluation must be passed at the end of each phase. Senior scientists can also be recruited directly as tenured scientists upon recommendation of the STC and the RPC.
