7. OTHER QUALIFICATIONS PROPERLY CERTIFIED.

The Administration could ask the candidates to bring or send the whole documentation of the publications specified in the list.

Art. 4 - ASSESSMENT

Application forms will be assessed by Commissione di Garanzia, made up of five members selected among professors in this University, which will take advantage of at least two external experts (for each application or for applications concerning the same subject). The list of examiners is established by CARSTT and approved by Rector’s decree.

Each examiner can use up to 12 points, to be divided as follows:

- assessment of the candidate up to 6 points

- assessment of the project up to 6 points

The evaluation criteria for candidates’ scientific qualifications and scientific-professional curriculum are the following:

1. - degree mark ;

2. - PhD thesis;

3. - specialization degrees and marks;

4. - attendance of post-graduate courses;

5. - research activity in Italy;

6. - research activity abroad;

7. - fellowships, scientific-professional contracts and appointments;

8. - participation in scientific congresses;

9. - scientific publications and qualification;

10. - monographic publications and chapters in books;

11. - patents.

Evaluation criteria for research projects are the following:

1. - relevance of the project to the subject suggested by the Department;

2. - originality of the research suggested;

3. - updating of the project with reference to knowledge acquired;

4. - appropriate bibliographic reference;

5. - potential achievement of the project in the space and time available;

6. - relevance of results potentially achievable.

In case of incomplete or insubstantial evaluation and in case of discrepancy between two evaluations, superior of equal to 6 points, Commissione di Garanzia will ask for a third assessment.

Commissione di Garanzia forms a ranking for each area related to the posts, with reference to marks given by the examiners.

The result of the assessment of the project and of the scientific qualifications of each candidate will be posted up and published on the University web-site.

Candidates who have not earned at least 7 points from at least two examiners are excluded from the ranking.

Candidates living abroad for at least one year (to prove with proper certification) who occupy a useful position in the ranking within posts available can be directly appointed among winners.

Candidates in the ranking and placed in position equal to the number of fellowships available for the area concerned increased of 50%, to round up to the next integer, can take part in the interview, if established by this competition.

The interview, which takes place with a Commission established by the Rector and suggested by Commissione di garanzia and made up of a member of Commissione di garanzia, who is the president, of the president or other member of Comitato d’area and, as third member, of Director of the Department concerned or of a delegate, will take place according to the schedule enclosed.

The Commission in charge of the interview can use up to 3 points for each candidate.

The candidates who have to sit for the interview will be called by e-mail at the address communicated by the candidate in the application form; in case of absence, candidates will be automatically excluded from the final ranking.

Commissione di garanzia, at the end of the assessment of the candidate, the research project and the interview, will publish the result of the assessment for each candidate and will form a ranking for each area, with reference to the marks earned. Assessment must end within six months since the transmission, to the referees, of the themes and the related projects.

The results of the assessment will be formalized by Rector’s Decree and published in University web-site.

If marks, gained in the same scientific area, end in a tie, the fellowship will be assigned to the younger candidate.

Art. 5 – FELLOWSHIP AWARDING

The Rector will communicate, by registered letter at the address in the application form, the awarding of the fellowship to the winners.

Within the deadline mentioned in the communication, the winner must send to the Rector the acceptance declaration required by the Administration, otherwise he/she will loose the post; afterwards he/she will be called to stipulate a contract.

The contract conditions are ruled by Regulations concerning fellowships for collaboration to research activity of University of Milan.

The fellowship implies the achievement of the research project suggested by the candidate, under the supervision of the Scientist-in-charge and at the related structure. The Scientist-in-charge and the candidate will agree on the activities related to the research project which will be carried out during the fellowship and that will be verified periodically, according to modes established by the individual contract.

The awarding of the fellowship does not imply employed work and does not give rights to employment by Universities.

Fellows can participate in the University in commissions for examinations as experts in a specific subject and collaborate to tutoring activities.

The fellowship cannot be added to grants or other types of aid, except for those established for integration of stays abroad, neither with other contracts of collaboration nor with income coming from free lance activities performed with continuity. Extra-university activities as speaker in seminars, conferences or publishing activities and a limited activity of self-employed work are compatible with the fellowship, upon written communication and in agreement with the scientist-in-charge and upon the condition that such activity is declared compatible by the Structure where the fellow performs research activity and does not imply interest conflicts with the research activity performed for the University. Self-employed work cannot exceed the income limits established by Consiglio di Amministrazione equal to a gross yearly amount of 15.000 Euros, with exclusion of remuneration coming from copyright.

Art. 6 - REMUNERATION

The yearly gross amount of the fellowship is of 16.138,00 Euros. The amount does not include expenses for industrial accident insurance and public liability insurance which are charged to the University. The amount is tax free (Irpef exempt) according to art. 4 of Law August 13th 1984 no. 476 and subjected, for what concerns social insurance, to rules as from art. 2, paragraph 26 and following of Law August 8th 1995 no. 335. The amount is paid in monthly postponed instalments.

Art. 7 – ACCEPTANCE AND SIGNING OF THE CONTRACT

Declarations and certifications of acceptance sent by registered letter with reply coupon attached within fifteen days (the stamp and date of the post office will be considered) since the communication by the Rector or brought directly to the appropriate office will be taken into account.

Personal facts and qualities self-attested by the winner of the competition will be checked properly by the University, also by sample, in order to verify their truth.

The winners will be called to stipulate the contract of collaboration to research activity, which will start from the first day of the month following the signature.

For non-EC subjects the fellowship will start after having obtained the visa for self-employed work and the actual beginning of the research activity.

Art. 8 – LOSS OF THE RIGHT TO THE FELLOWSHIP AND CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT

If the contract is not signed within the deadline mentioned by the appropriate office or if the candidate does not achieve the PhD within the stipulation date, the winner will loose every right to the fellowship.

In case of loss of the right to the fellowship or of renounce by the winners, the fellowships are made available to candidates placed usefully in the ranking. The ranking is valid for 180 days since its approval.

The winners of the fellowships who do not attain themselves to what established by this competition notice and to the Regulations mentioned above will loose every right to the fellowship by means of a Rector’s Act upon written notification.

During collaboration activity, if the Fellow does not carry out regularly research activity, without justified reason, or is responsible of serious and continuous malpractice, the procedure of cancellation of the contract will be started, on request of the Scientist-in-charge.

Art. 9 – REFERENCE

For what is not established by this competition notice please refer to the Regulations concerning fellowships for research activity issued by Rector’s Decree on April 1st 2009 no. 261587 and the rules in force about the subject.
