According to the call, there are three open positions. 

Among the approved candidates, only Leonardo de Lima submitted the required documentation to be identified as “pardo”.
 This does not affect the classification order above.

This call specifies that "
Uma vaga será destinada a candidatos que tenham como orientadora Cristina Furlanetto". This applies to Atul Samanta, again implying no change in the classification order.

The first three approved candidates will be called initially. If the three open positions are not filled, the remaining approved candidates will be called successively, until all three positions are filled or there are no remaining approved candidates.
