* Any false statements made will be punished in accordance with the law.
* Selection Methods: Approval on absolute merit and evaluation of the candidates' curriculum vitae and scientific work.
* Approval on absolute merit is based on the classification of the contributions presented by the candidate in terms of overall scientific, technical and professional performance, as well as performance in other activities relevant to the mission of the institution and their classification in the scientific area or areas of the competition and which reach the qualitative level compatible with the category for which the competition is intended. To this end, candidates must submit a document, with a maximum of 5000 characters, in which they highlight ten contributions (scientific productions, projects, and/or other activities) that best describe their career and research experience during the period under evaluation. For each of these, the candidate must indicate the role played and the impact on the advancement of knowledge in the respective scientific area.
* The following criteria and parameters are considered and weighted for the evaluation of the scientific and curricular path and scientific work of candidates:
A. Quality of scientific and technical work and professional experience and training: 40%.
B. Coordination and participation in research projects: 20%.
C. Scientific guidance and pedagogical activities: 15%.
D. Provision of services to the community, technology transfer, and participation in management bodies: 15%.
* The assessment referred to in point 14.2 may be supplemented by an interview with the candidates, whenever the selection panel so decides. The interview does not constitute a selection method and is not classified, aiming to obtain clarifications or explanations of elements contained in the candidates' CVs.
* Assessment on absolute merit: The Jury deliberates on approval on absolute merit through nominal vote, based on compliance or non-compliance with the requirements set out in point 14.1, and by an absolute majority of favorable votes among the members present at the meeting.
Methodology for evaluating criteria and evaluation parameters:
The evaluation will focus exclusively on the relevance, quality and timeliness of the work developed in the last five years (since January 2020), except in legally admissible situations, at the candidate's request, in which it will be extended for the corresponding period. Each member of the jury must submit a document with the evaluation of the candidates according to the approved criteria, consequently defining a proposal for ranking the candidates in descending order of their merit, based on the weighted sum of the scores attributed to the evaluation parameters, on a scale of 0-100 (with 0 being the minimum and 100 the maximum) or converted to a scale of 0-20 (with 0 being the minimum and 20 the maximum).
Each member of the jury initially votes for first place, then for second place and so on, until all candidates admitted to the competition and previously approved on absolute merit have been ranked. 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 fewest votes is eliminated. If there is a tie between the candidates with the fewest votes, a vote is held on who should be eliminated. After this, a vote is held among the remaining candidates, until one candidate obtains more than half of the votes.
Once the evaluation and ranking criteria have been applied, the jury will draw up a single list ranking the candidates.
When preparing the list of each member of the jury, in the event of a tie, the candidate who presents a curriculum considered most consistent in the activities developed, and the best classification in the career development plan for the scientific area of “Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis for Knowledge Generation” as a whole, will be selected, taking into account the mission of the Institution.
Final classification system – The final classification (CF) is determined using the following formula:
A - Quality of scientific and technical work and professional experience and training;
B - Coordination and participation in research projects;
C - Scientific guidance and pedagogical activities;
D - Provision of services to the community, technology transfer, and participation in management bodies
* The President of the jury will only vote in the event of a tie, unless he is a researcher or professor in the scientific area in which the competition was opened, in which case, if the jury operates with an even number of members, he will have a casting vote.
* Minutes are drawn up for each jury meeting, containing a summary of everything that occurred therein, indicating, in particular, the date and place of the meeting, the members present, the issues considered, the decisions taken and their grounds and the form and result of the respective votes, and are signed by all members present at the respective meeting.
* Notification of the lists of admitted and excluded candidates and the final ranking: The list of admitted and excluded candidates and the final ranking list will be notified to all candidates by email.
* Publication of the final ranking list of candidates: the final ranking list of candidates, after approval, is published in the 2nd series of the Official Gazette, posted at the Central Services of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and made available on its competitions portal, at https://concursos.ipb.pt .
