Selection process
Jury Members
Selection Methods and Criteria
Selection is to be made based on the candidate’s scientific and curricular background (SCB) of the candidates whose application is considered admissible. The scientific and curricular background evaluation focuses on the relevance and quality for the areas of activity in which the tender is open:
1. of the scientific, technological production in the last five years, deemed most relevant by the candidate, in the context of the job vacancy;
2. of the adequateness of the candidate’s profile and of his/her motivation letter to the development of the activities related to the LIP research line previously mentioned;
3. of the professional experience in the scientific area and research line of the tender, including, namely, activities related to the conception, development and execution of research and development projects, computing infrastructures, as well as projects of another nature carried out within this scientific area;
4. of the impact of scientific activity reflected in lectures, participation in scientific groups/organisations and similar;
5. of the extension, transfer and dissemination of knowledge and service activities to the scientific community developed in the last five years.
The five-year period mentioned above can be extended by the panel, if requested by the candidate, whenever there is a temporary suspension of scientific activities caused by socially protected grounds like paternity leave, long-term serious illness, and other legal situations of unavailability to work.
The assessment of the scientific and curricular background (SCB) of the candidates is performed by each panel member and is stated in a zero (0) to one hundred (100) scale, rounded to the nearest unit.
The final classification (FC) of each candidate is obtained by the sum of the evaluation of each panel member (SCB) divided by the number of the panel members (N).
The final classification (FC) will be approximated to tenths by symmetrical rounding, on a scale from zero (0) to one hundred (100) values.
The panel members shall deliberate by means of roll call vote, justified under the adopted and disclosed selection criteria, with no abstentions allowed.
Minutes of the panel meetings will include a summary of all occurrences of said meeting, as well as of all votes casted by the members and respective reasoning, and shall be provided to candidates whenever requested.
After selection criteria application, the panel members shall prepare an ordered list of the approved candidates with corresponding classifications. If none of the candidates proves to have the necessary experience or qualifications, the jury will not select any candidate. The panel's final decision shall be validated by the head of the institution, who is also responsible for the hiring.
Notification of the Candidates
Both admitted and excluded candidates list and final classification list shall be sent to the candidates who will be notified by email with delivery receipt.
