Assessment criteria
Special and equal emphasis will be given to scientific and teaching proficiency.

Special emphasis will be placed on research merits in the subject within the recent five years. The primary consideration for the assessment of scientific skill will be scientific quality. Further, the scope of research in terms of depth and breadth will be given importance.
Assessment of scientific proficiency shall also take into account degree of independence in developing and managing research projects and contribution to international scientific knowledge through publication in international journals or other publications available internationally.

Strong emphasis will be placed on documented ability to cooperate well with colleagues and fellow researchers.

Strong emphasis will be placed on successful research supervision demonstrated through active guidance of at least one student to a completed PhD degree.

Strong emphasis will be paid on successful grant applications demonstrated by projects that received finance from externa sources.
