</span><u>A Career development plan</u> (up to 10
pages) – in this document, you should discuss the main research problems you
will focus on (and how they relate to the state of the art); how you plan to
resolve (experimentally or theoretically) these problems – i.e., your research
lines; and why you would do so. Please note that all this should be aligned
with the area in which the positions are open – Cognitive Neuroscience, with a
focus on understanding major cognitive processes under a fundamental science
approach. </p>

</span><u>All your certificates (namely and mainly the
PhD diploma)</u> – It is important that you include a pdf of your PhD diploma
in your application – without this document you will not be evaluated! Also, if
you PhD was obtained outside of Portugal you will have to start the process of recognizing
it in Portugal (you will need to have it recognize when signing the contract).
You should start your recognition process here: <a href="https://www.dges.gov.pt/recon/formulario">https://www.dges.gov.pt/recon/formulario</a>
(please choose “I want to have my foreign degree/diploma recognized” and choose
the country of origin of the diploma. In the process always try to choose the
University of Coimbra as the place where you want your diploma to be recognized.
If you have any problems, let me know and I can try to help. Once you start
this process you will get an email – you can attach this email to your
application as proof that you initiated the process. </p>
