Doctors accredited as Associate Professors of University with specialization in Health Sciences have a concrete window of opportunity: the University of Seville convenes linked positions that combine academic career with healthcare activity in the SAS. The call is supported by LOSU 2/2023 and Royal Decree 678/2023, and was published in the BOE on 28 July 2026 with reference BOE-A-2026-16415.
The critical calendar element: the month of August is non-working for this procedure, so the calculation of the 15 business days resumes in September. Anyone who does not submit their application within that deadline is excluded from the process.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes a competition for access to linked positions of university teaching bodies. These positions have a differential characteristic compared to ordinary university positions: they imply exclusive dedication that combines two simultaneous functions:
- University teaching at the University of Seville.
- Healthcare assistance in the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) as a Specialist Healthcare Professional.
The cumulative requirements that any candidate must meet are as follows:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Academic qualification | Doctor's degree |
| ANECA accreditation | Accreditation as Associate Professor of University |
| Healthcare specialty | Specialist degree in Health Sciences |
As for the destination, selected candidates may be assigned to any center in the hospital area linked to the position convened. This means that the position does not guarantee a specific hospital center within the area, but the assignment may fall to any of the centers that make up that area.
Economic and operational impact
The direct cost of participating in this call is reduced: 40 € participation fee. Persons with a recognized degree of disability equal to or greater than 33 % are exempt from payment.
The real economic impact for the selected candidate is more significant: access to a career civil servant position in the body of Associate Professors of University with exclusive dedication, which implies the simultaneous receipt of university and healthcare remuneration according to the agreements and remuneration tables applicable to each institution (University of Seville and SAS), without the call specifying specific amounts.
From an operational point of view, university departments and hospital services of the SAS must anticipate the incorporation of new personnel with dual profile, which affects the planning of shifts, teaching and healthcare workload.
Who does it affect?
- Doctors with ANECA accreditation as Associate Professors of University who also have a specialist degree in Health Sciences.
- Specialist Healthcare Professionals of the SAS or other health systems who have completed the academic pathway to ANECA accreditation.
- University departments in the area of Health Sciences of the University of Seville that manage the convened positions.
- Hospital centers of the Andalusian Health Service linked to the positions, which will receive the award winners.
- HR managers of the University of Seville and the SAS involved in the management of the competition and incorporation.
Practical example
A medical specialist in Internal Medicine who works as a Specialist Healthcare Professional in a SAS hospital and who has obtained the Doctor's degree and ANECA accreditation as Associate Professor of University meets the three requirements required by the call.
To participate, you must submit your application within 15 business days counted from 28 July 2026. Since August is non-working, the deadline does not start until September 2026. The cost of the application is 40 € (or 0 € if you accredit a disability equal to or greater than 33 %).
If selected, you will be assigned to a center in the hospital area linked to the position, which may be any of the centers integrated in that area, not necessarily the hospital where you already provide services. This is a relevant operational factor that the candidate should assess before submitting their application.
What should candidates do now?
- Verify the three cumulative requirements before starting any procedure: Doctor's degree, ANECA accreditation as Associate Professor of University and specialist degree in Health Sciences. If any is missing, it is not possible to participate.
- Calculate the real application deadline: the 15 business days start counting from 28 July 2026, but August is non-working, so the effective deadline resumes in September. Identifying the exact closing date is the most urgent step.
- Prepare the supporting documentation of the three requirements (Doctor's degree, ANECA accreditation certificate and specialist degree) to attach to the application.
- Pay the 40 € fee or, if applicable, accredit disability equal to or greater than 33 % to obtain the exemption.
- Assess destination flexibility: selected candidates may be assigned to any center in the hospital area linked to the position, not just their preferred one. It is advisable to analyze this point before submitting your candidacy.
- Consult the complete resolution in the BOE (reference BOE-A-2026-16415) to verify the specific positions convened, the courts and the rest of the competition conditions.
