To this end, the candidate to be ranked in each position must obtain more than half of the votes. If this does not happen, the candidates who received zero votes are removed and the candidate with the least votes is eliminated. If there is equality of vote regarding the least voted, a vote is held on which one to eliminate. After that, voting takes place among the remaining candidates, until one candidate obtains more than half of the votes.

Once the application of the evaluation and ranking criteria has been completed, the jury proceeds to draw up a unitary list of candidates.

When preparing the list of each member of the jury, in a tie situation, the candidate who presents a CV considered most consistent in the activities carried out, and best classification in the career development plan for the thematic line of “Natural Resources, Agriculture and Climate Change” as a whole, bearing in mind the Institution’s mission.

B — Coordination and participation in research projects;

C — Scientific guidance and pedagogical activities;

20 — Minutes are drawn up for each jury meeting, which contains a summary of everything that occurred there, indicating, in particular, the date and place of the meeting, the members present, the issues considered, the deliberations taken and their reasons and the form and result of the respective votes, being signed by all members present at the respective meeting.
