Assessment criteria
The assessment criteria are the following: scientific output and its relevance, participation in scientific projects and conferences, student supervision, scientific dissemination activities, knowledge transfer, and other relevant activities and experience. 
The final candidate classification shall be given on a scale of Oto 100. The value shall be invariably calculated taking into account that, for each item, only those activities relevant to the field of the present call for applications are to be considered, with the following weighting: 

Scientific and curricular background (SCB)

a)    Scientific and technological output: 40%;
b)    Applied or practice-based research activities: 30%;
c)    Knowledge extension and dissemination activities: 10%; d) Interview: 20%

The interview is optional and will be conducted with the top-ranked candidates only if deemed necessary by the jury members. If no interview is conducted, the remaining evaluation criteria will be converted to a scale of 0-100: a) Scientific and technological output (46.67%), b) Applied or practice-based research activities (36.67%), and c) knowledge extension and dissemination activities (16.66%).
