​1. Background 
The SALAM Project (Social, sustAinable and incLusive heAlth care systems in Med area) is funded under the Interreg NEXT MED Programme. The project aims to ensure equal access to health care and strengthen the resilience of health systems through the adoption of a co-defined SALAM solution, including telecardiology services, multidisciplinary training, community awareness activities, and a transnational research network across Italy, Spain, Lebanon, and Jordan.
Within this framework, Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), as a partner in the SALAM Project, seeks to engage qualified technical staff to support project implementation, particularly activities linked to the hospital hub in Jordan, telemedicine technology integration, training delivery, and the transnational research and innovation stream.
The selected technical staff will contribute to improving healthcare access for remote and vulnerable populations, including people affected by cardiovascular diseases, caregivers, refugees, and migrant workers, by supporting the operationalization of the SALAM solution and related technical activities.
