Eligibility criteria

Criteria and assessment of merits

The following merits will be assessed and scored:

A. Knowledge of Matlab, Python, R and/or C++ (advanced level). These will be assessed based on accredited training hours (0,5 points for every 10 hours of training course, up to 5 points per course)



and accredited project work months (2 points for each month of work). Maximum 20 points.

B. Knowledge of spoken and written English (demonstrable). 2 points per level from A2 to C2. Maximum 10 points.

C. Demonstrable experience through scientific publications in the field of artificial intelligence and green algorithms. Each publication will be awarded up to 3 points if it corresponds to a scientific journal indexed in JCR and up to 1.5 points if it corresponds to a relevant international conference. Publications in Class 1 GGS conferences will be equivalent to JCR Q1 and Q2 journals. Maximum 20 points.

D. Knowledge of artificial intelligence and green algorithms. This will be assessed based on accredited training hours (1 point for every 10 hours of training course, maximum 30 points) and accredited project work months (4 points for each month of work, maximum 40 points) according to degree of affinity. Maximum 40 points. a. Training courses: 1 point for every 10 hours of training course.

b. Project work: 4 points for each month of work.

c. Correction factor by degree of affinity for sections D.a. and D.b.: i. Directly related to artificial intelligence and green algorithms: x1 ii. Marginally related to artificial intelligence and green algorithms: x0.3 iii. Unrelated to artificial intelligence and green algorithms: x0

E. Personal interview. Maximum 10 points. Personal interview with the three highest-rated candidates, provided that their score in the other sections is less than 15% of the candidate with the highest score. In the event of a tie in the final score between two or more candidates, the tiebreaker criterion will be the highest score obtained in the criterion D.

Documentation to be submitted

Interested parties must submit an application clearly detailing their merits in different sections, following the same format and concepts indicated in the assessment criteria. CVs submitted in a format other than that specified here will not be assessed by the evaluation committee.
