Additional notes
The first contract agreement considers a period between one to three years after which could then be confirmed as a permanent contract.

Applications will be subject to a pre-selection, based on the analysis of CV and other materials that we strongly recommend that candidates should supply at the application platform [especially excerpts of video recording of performance(s)], and the candidate will be informed of the result by 23 October 2017.
