Since 2008 DIPC is a 'Basque Excellence Research Center' (BERC) recognized by the Basque Government's Department of Education.

• CV of the candidate (50%)
• Cover letter (10%)
• Personal interview (40%)

In order to pass to the personal interview phase, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 40 out of 60 in the evaluation of the CV and cover letter. Likewise, those profiles that, in the committee's opinion, do not meet any of the requirements for the job position will not be evaluated.

However, the selected candidate may keep the position if, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, the candidate duly justifies the reasons why he or she cannot join before the specified deadline, and as long as the project allows it.
