Additional InformationEligibility criteria

• SELECTION CRITERIA Applications will be scored up to 100 points in accordance with the following criteria:
  
  

Academic track (maximum 40 points).

• 1.
  
  

A maximum of 20 points will be given in function of the grade point average (GPA) in the academic track record of the required Bachelor degree.

Applications with degrees in mathematics as well as in civil, mechanical, or biomedical engineering will be valued preferentially.

In the case of applicants with degrees in statistics, physics, and other engineering areas, a weighting factor of 70% will be applied to the GPA.

In the case of applications with other degrees, the previous weighting factor will be of 10%.

• 2.
  
  

The 20 remaining points will be awarded in function of the weighted average of the grades obtained by the candidate in courses of their Bachelor degree related to the project tasks as follows: a maximum weight of 1 point for each 1 ECTS will be awarded for courses related to infinitesimal calculus and linear algebra; a maximum weight of 2 points for each 1 ECTS will be awarded for courses related to numerical methods, scientific programming, computational mechanics, and differential equations; and a maximum weight of 3 points for each 1 ECTS will be awarded for courses related to applications of mathematics, physics, and engineering in biology and medicine.

For all these courses, the same weighting scheme as a function of the type of Bachelor degree used for the GPA will be applied.

Experience related to the tasks to be developed (maximum 30 points).

• 1.
  
  

Experience in using models based on partial differential equations to study problems in science and engineering, with special emphasis in applications in biology and medicine (maximum 10 points).

Each month of experience will be valued with a maximum of 2 points.

• 2.
  
  

Experience in using isogeometric analysis to perform simulations of models based on partial differential equations of problems in science and engineering (maximum 10 points).

Each month of experience will be valued with a maximum of 2 points.

• 3.
  
  

Experience in MATLAB and Python programming (maximum 10 points).

Each month of experience will be valued with a maximum of 1.5 points.

• 4.
  
  

Other academic merits (maximum 10 points).

Awards, scholarships, and contracts related to the project tasks obtained in competitive calls will be valued with up to 2 points each.

• English level (maximum 5 points).
  
  

A maximum of 5 points will be awarded for the provable knowledge of an intermediate or upper level of English language in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference (A2: 1 point, B1: 2 points; B2: 3 points; C1: 4 points; C2: 5 points).

• Personal interview (maximum 25 points).
  
  

Candidates who achieve a score above 50 points in sections A-C will be invited to a personal interview, in which they will have to show their capacity and knowledge for the tasks to be developed.

• SELECTION
  
  

A minimum score of 65 points will be necessary to be beneficiary of this position.

The process will create a waiting list (reserves) with the applications that satisfy this condition.

If no candidate obtains a score over 65 points, the position may be declared unfilled.
