The interview will weight, at most, 10 percent of the final classification. The candidates who don't qualify for the second phase will have a classification of 0 in the interview.
Second phase: Interview
In accordance with Article 5(5) of the RJEC, as it stands, the Jury will individually interview each candidate that were qualified to the second phase.
During the interview, the members of the Jury will stimulate an open debate about the quality and the innovative and creative nature of the research and professional activity of the candidates, considering the requirements and the subject areas of the specific tender procedure.
The interviews will be conducted within a period not exceeding 10 working days after the decision of the Jury.
DISABILITY INCENTIVE
Candidates who present a degree of disability equal to or greater than 90% will benefit from an incentive (20) in the score of the CV Assessment.
Candidates who present a degree of disability equal to or greater than 60% and less than 90% will also benefit from an incentive (10) in the score of the CV Assessment.

A similar procedure will be followed regarding the candidates that are called for the interview. The candidates that are not called for an interview will have 0 points in the second phase.
The curricular assessment (CA) of each candidate is obtained according to the average of the factors (F) that is evaluated by the weights of the following formulation, expressed to the first decimal.
AC = F1*25 + F2*25 + F3*10 + F4*10 + F5*30
The final classification (FC) of each candidate is obtained according to the average of the final results of the curricular assessment and of the interview (I) that is evaluated by the weights of the following formulation, expressed to the units.
CF = AC*90 + E*10
After completing the application of the selection criteria, each member of the Jury will sort the candidates according to the final classification assigned to them. Based on this sorting, the Jury will sort the candidates by successive clearance to the first place and following places (each member of the jury follows their personal sorting). The clearance is carried out when a candidate obtains more than half of the votes. If this doesn't happen in the first voting for a particular place, the least voted candidate is eliminated and the procedure is repeated with the remaining candidates (with tiebreakers based on the average of the final classifications).
The Jury will advise the hiring of the candidate approved in absolute merit sorted in the first place.
