• required competences: the knowledge and ability to perform chemical trace analyzes of  atmospheric aerosol, separation of complex chemical mixtures, identification of chemical compounds, simple quantum-chemical calculations, organic synthesis, experience in writing applications for research funding and preparing reports and publications;
• desired competences: knowledge in the field of conducting smog chamber experiments, methods of characterizing aerosol particles using online techniques (e.g., SMPS, AMS);
• other: diligence, accuracy, punctuality, communicativeness, establishing cooperation.

• creativity as measured by the quality and number of scientific publications, in which the candidate is the first author, corresponding author or a significant author;
• career mobility (research internships, change of research profile, internships / work in industry);
• the number of citations of the candidate's works, especially those, in which the candidate is the first author, corresponding author or significant author;
• creativity measured by the quality and number of targeted research projects and publications resulting from the implementation of these projects;
• opinion about the candidate, issued by an independent researcher, specialist in the field of organic chemistry, environmental chemistry, environmental engineering or equivalent.
• experience in teaching activities, successes in obtaining grants, research management, knowledge transfer

When assessing the candidate's achievements the Competition Committee will take into account breaks in research work (e.g. maternity leave, internships in industry etc.) and will convert the indicated achievements of the candidate into effective years of research[1].

As part of the competition procedure, selected Candidates may be invited for an interview or be asked to publicly present the results of their previous work in the form of a seminar at the IPC PAS and / or additional explanations.

[1] Information on breaks in the candidate's research work should be included in the CV.
