Eligibility criteria

1. Once the deadline for submission of applications has ended, the Vice-Rectorate for Research will publish the provisional list of admitted and excluded applicants, indicating in the latter case the cause of exclusion, on the Electronic Notice Board of UVa, available on its Electronic Office. Both excluded applicants and those omitted, for not appearing on either the list of admitted or the list of excluded applicants, shall have a period of five working days, counted from the day following the publication of the provisional list, to remedy the defects that have caused their exclusion or omission.
2. Once the remediation period has elapsed, the Vice-Rectorate for Research will publish, in the same manner indicated above, the resolution approving the definitive list of admitted and excluded applicants. The publication of these lists on the electronic notice board of UVa, available on its Electronic Office, shall serve as notification to interested parties for all purposes. Applicants who, within the time limit indicated, do not remedy the exclusion or allege against the omission, justifying their right to be included, shall be definitively excluded from the selection process. Against such exclusion, as a qualified procedural act, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed within two months, before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Valladolid, or optionally, an appeal for reconsideration, within one month, before the Rectorate itself. Both periods shall be counted from the day following the publication of the resolution.
3. Subsequently, the Research Support Service will forward the admitted applications to the Selection Committee, as well as any documentation of legal relevance for the performance of its functions, arising from the call.

Selection process

The Selection Committee is the one that appears in Annex I of this call and shall be chaired by the Principal Investigator of the Project/agreement/contract/accord, who shall act as Chairperson, and shall be composed of two other UVa professors and/or researchers designated by its chairperson, who shall act as secretary and member. Members of the Committee must abstain from intervening when any of the circumstances provided for in articles 23 and 24 of Law 40/2015, of 1 October, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector, apply to them. The procedure of action of the Committee shall at all times conform to the provisions of the terms of this call and to the provisions of Law 40/2015, of 1 October, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector.

1.

2. The award proposal made by the Selection Committee shall contain, broken down in the manner indicated above, the score obtained by all applicants, with indication of the proposed candidate, who shall be the one with the highest score. The remaining candidates may replace the appointee in cases of waiver or withdrawal due to other circumstances, in accordance with the score obtained. Only those candidates who have obtained a total score higher than 80% of the score obtained by the candidate proposed as first option shall remain on the waiting list. In calls in which two or more positions are offered, those candidates who have obtained a total score higher than 80% of the score obtained by the last selected candidate shall remain on the waiting list. The Selection Committee may declare with reasons given the selection procedure void in the event that, having evaluated the merits, the profile of the candidates does not fully fit the needs of the project.
3. All documentation generated in the selection process shall be forwarded to the Research Support Service. The award proposal will be published on the electronic notice board of UVa, available on its Electronic Office, and shall serve as notification to interested parties for all purposes, including the means of challenge described below. Against the award proposal, admitted candidates may file an appeal before the Rectorate provided for in Law 39/2015, of 1 October, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations.
4. The Rectorate Resolution providing for the signing of the corresponding employment contract shall be published in the manner indicated above. Against it, a contentious administrative appeal may be filed within two months, counted from the day following its publication, before the Contentious-Administrative Courts of Valladolid.
5. The candidate proposed as the beneficiary of the contract must provide the documentation or information necessary for the formalisation of the contract within a maximum period of 5 working days, counted from the day following the publication on the notice board of UVa, available on its Electronic Office, of the Rectorate resolution of award. To this end, an email will be received with a form that must be returned duly completed. After this period without a response, it shall be understood as an express waiver of the contract and the position may be offered to the next candidate, if any.
