The Evaluation of the Curriculum Vitae will be performed according to the following criteria:

2. Demonstrated experience in developing new bioinformatic tools – 30%
3. Published papers/Publication track record (comparative genomics) (PPP)– 20%.
4. Motivation letter (ML) – 5%.

 

The Evaluation of the Curriculum Vitae will be performed according to the following criteria:

EC = [15%BSc+30%ELAH+20%PPP+5%ML]

 

In the second phase and after the sorting of the candidates following CV evaluation, there will be an interview to the maximum of three candidates if they are separated by less than 10% according to the jury criteria. All the factors will be pondered according to the formula:

INT = 30%

 

The final score (CF), expressed in a number from 0 to 20, will weight in the Curriculum Vitae evaluation (70%) and the interview (30%):

CF = 70%EC+30%INT

 

If the candidates do not show up in the interview they will be withdrawal from the application, being excluded from the competition.
