Selection criteria: The selection will be based on the evaluation of the candidates’ scientific and academic track, possibly with an interview.
A. Assessment of the candidates’ scientific and academic track.
Criterion 1 (weight: 50%): curricular analysis based on the CV (including publications).
Criterion 2 (weight: 50%): assessment of the candidate's research potential and its alignment with CMUP's research goals (see https://www.cmup.pt/research-areas). The relevant documents for analysis in this criterion are the work plan, reference letters and other documents considered relevant for the analysis.
Once the assessment of the scientific and academic track of the candidates is completed, the jury proceeds to rank the candidates from 0 to 100.
B. Oral interview.
If the jury finds it necessary, it can call for an oral interview by videoconference of the candidates ranked in the first 6 positions in regards to their scientific and academic track. The interview aims only to clarify questions related to the candidate’s academic and research achievements.
The final scoring and ranking of these candidates is determined by the formula 0,8*A + 0,2*B, where A is the score obtained for the scientific and academic track and B is the interview score. The ranking of the remaining candidates is left unchanged.
Notification: Lists of admitted and excluded candidates, as well as the final ranking lists, will be sent by email. Once notified, the candidates have 10 working days to respond to the decision.
Requirements to be completed prior to signing the contract: If the selected candidate's academic degree was awarded by a foreign (i.e., not Portuguese) higher education institution, then the formal procedures instituted in the Decreto-Lei n.º 66/2018 (Decree Law 66/2018) must be completed before the scholarship is awarded.
