    [if published in indexed journals, max]
  • Sub-criterion 2 - Professional experience (80%)
    ⁃ [experience in the area of the study cycle, max 100]
    ⁃ [relevant experience in areas of physics/mathematics, max 50]
    ⁃ [another type of experience, max 30]
• Criterion 3: minimum grade
  Only candidates with a cumulative assessment of criteria 1 and 2 above 40% will be considered.

 

Comments:

Candidates who do not yet have a Bachelor's degree will be ranked according to the criteria and sub-criteria indicated above, but substituting the final average of the Bachelor's degree for the weighted average of the curricular units.
Whenever it is deemed necessary and relevant to clarify curricular elements related to the sub-criteria, the scientific committee will invite the candidates for an interview.
The interview will result in the weighting to be assigned to the corresponding sub-criterion(s).

 

Tiebreaker criteria:

1. training area;
2. training area;
