Permanent Position for Experimental or Theoretical Condensed-Matter Physics
Each job selection is carried by an Evaluation Committee comprise of five members. The process takes 3-4 days, and will be carried in three phases:
1. Judgment of the Curriculum Vitae with public argumentation examination,
2. A 50 minutes undergraduate-level lecture;
3. Presentation of the research project and its argumentation.
The lecture is for evaluation of teaching skills. The topic of the lecture will be picked at random from a shortlist of 10 topics of Introductory Solid State Physics, 24 hours before that lecture. All the phases will be graded on a scale of 0 through 10. The final score will be the weighted sum of the scores of the judgment of Curriculum Vitae (weight 4/10), of the scientific project (weight 3/10) and of the lecture (weight 3/10). The candidate with the highest score will be declared the winner.
