Assessment and selection criteria and procedures

The selection methods to be used will be the merit of the candidate (MC), which may, if the jury deems it necessary, be supplemented by an interview (E) with the two best-placed candidates. In this case, the final classification will be obtained by the following formula: (0.6 x MC) + (0.4 x E) and expressed on a scale of 1 to 20 (or another scale). If no interview is held, the final classification will correspond to the classification attributed to the candidate's merit:

 

Candidate merit - MC (100%):

Mot) Motivation letter: the content of the motivation letter is considered, with a weighting of 10%.

Hab) Academic qualifications: reflects the suitability of the academic area for the work plan and the final classification of the academic degree, according to the reference table, with a weighting of 30%.

CV) Curriculum vitae reflects the scientific and professional career, with a weighting of 60%.

 

The final classification of the candidate's merit will be obtained by applying the following formula:

MC=(Mot*0,10) + (Hab*0,30) + (CV*0,60)
