- Relevant experience and qualification for the proposed research area, motivation and research interest alignment with the goals of the project - 50%.
The ranking of candidates will be performed by an initial evaluation based on a global appreciation of the candidates’ merit (A) and motivation (B), valued from 1 to 10, and will be made on the basis of the evaluation of their scientific curriculum vitae track-record, in particular the quality of their research outputs related to the subject area of the present call. One or both of the referees indicated by the candidates with similar highest final scores might be contacted at this stage to provide reference letters. If needed, an interview may be carried out, in which case all candidates scored higher than 7 will be summoned to the interview.

In this case, the interview will have a relative weight of 0.3 and the previously communicated score will have a relative weight of 0.7.
The evaluation of the professional track record relates to the relevance, timeliness, quality and adequacy to the current project and will focus on the research activities from the past 5-years that the candidate considers more relevant (as highlighted in their application). This 5-year period can be increased, if justified and asked for by the candidate, on account of disease, maternity/paternity leave, or other duly justified period of unavailability to work.
