5 — Working methodology of the jury:

Each member of the jury will conduct a thorough assessment, assigning scores to each candidate for each dimension on a scale ranging from 0 to 100 points. These scores will be determined in accordance with the approved criteria for each dimension, taking into account the appropriate level of rigor corresponding to the category for which the competition is being held.
5.2. Final Result
The final result (RF) of the evaluation of each candidate by each member of the jury is calculated using the weighting formula of the various curricular aspects:
RF = 0.55*VMC + 0.25*VEMP + 0.05*VTC + 0.15*VGU
which reflects the weights associated with each aspect, shown in table 1.
5.3. — Jury deliberations
5.3.1. Any deliberation results of no.12 of Article 17 of the Regulation on Call for the Recruitment of Full, Associate and Assistant Professors of the University of Porto – Order 12913/2010, published in the Official Gazette, no. 154, of 10 August 2010, applicable under Article 83-A of the ECDU, which determined the adoption of that Order to implement the provisions of that statute, including the procedural conduct of calls, namely the system of evaluation and final ranking.
Thus, under no.12 of Article 17 of that Regulation, the jury will decide, by nominal voting based on the adopted and disclosed selection criteria, on the approval and ranking of the candidates. An absolute majority is required for any resolution, i.e., a number of votes at least equal to half plus one of the votes of the present members, and no abstentions are not allowed.
5.3.2. The ranking methodology is the following:
In the various ballots, each member of the jury must respect his or her ranking list, observing the following in the voting:
a) the first vote is to determine the candidate placed 1st, counting the number of votes that each candidate obtained for that position;
b) if a candidate obtains an absolute majority of the votes for 1st place, he or she shall be placed in that position and shall be removed from the ballot, the procedure to choose the candidate who will occupy 2nd place being initiated;
c) if no candidate obtains an absolute majority of the votes for 1st place, a new ballot shall begin, only among the candidates who obtained votes for 1st place, after the withdrawal of the candidate who received the least votes for that place in the previous ballot
d) In case there is a tie between two or more candidates in the position of least voted for, a tie-breaking vote shall be held only between them, counting the number of first positions relative to each one, and the one with the least vote shall be removed;
e) should the tie subsist between two or more candidates in the position of least voted, but having reduced the number of candidates tied in the position of least voted, in relation to the previous voting round, a new tie-breaking vote shall be held only between the candidates tied in the position of least voted, counting the number of first relative positions of each one, and the one who received the least voted shall be removed;
f) should the tie subsist between two or more candidates in the position of least voted, without the number of candidates tied in the position of least voted having been reduced, in relation to the previous voting round, the tie shall be broken by the President's casting vote or by the exercise of the casting vote, as the case may be, the candidate voted by the President being chosen to integrate the subsequent voting
for the same position;
g) In case there is a tie when only two or more candidates remain for the 1st place, the tie-breaker is made through the Chairperson's casting vote or by the exercise of the casting vote, as the case may be;
h) When the candidate for 1st place is chosen, he/she shall leave the voting and the procedure for choosing the candidate to be placed in 2nd place shall begin, repeating the process referred to in the previous sub-paragraphs for the subsequent places until a single ordered list of all the candidates is obtained.
