Correction of UEx-SES 2026 Teaching Positions: New 20-Day Deadline for Candidates

Key data

The call for access competition for linked positions in university teaching bodies published on June 11, 2026 contained material errors that directly affected who could apply and how they would be evaluated. The joint Resolution of the University of Extremadura (UEx) and the Extremadura Health Service (SES) of July 20, 2026, published in the BOE on July 25, corrects those errors and opens a new deadline for submitting applications.

This is not a minor change: the corrections alter both access requirements and the evaluation procedure, which can determine whether a candidate can or cannot apply for these positions.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution corrects three types of material errors in the original call of June 4, 2026. Below is a detailed breakdown of each correction:

1. Participation requirements

The original call wrongly included a internal promotion restriction that limited access to candidates already belonging to certain bodies. This restriction is eliminated. After the correction, candidates who can demonstrate any of the following conditions may participate:

• ANECA accreditation for the Associate Professor position
• Previous qualification obtained in accordance with prior regulations
• Recognized European equivalence

2. Evaluation procedure

For Associate Professor positions, the evaluation procedure changes from a single test to two differentiated tests. This change directly affects the preparation that candidates must undertake and the structure of the access competition.

3. Correction of codes in Annex I

The identification codes of two positions that were incorrectly listed in Annex I of the call are corrected:

Any application submitted with the incorrect codes should be verified to ensure it correctly references the desired positions.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the main impact is operational and opportunity-related: the correction of participation requirements expands the pool of people who can apply for these positions. Those who ruled out applying due to the internal promotion restriction now have a second chance within the new 20-day deadline.

For the University of Extremadura and the Extremadura Health Service, the correction involves managing a new application reception process, with associated administrative costs, and adapting the evaluation procedure to the new format of two differentiated tests.

From the perspective of already registered candidates, it is essential to verify that the position codes stated in your application match the corrected codes (DF4335 and DF4336, not DL4335 and DL4336), to prevent your candidacy from being linked to a non-existent reference.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates for Associate Professor positions linked to the Extremadura Health Service who did not apply in the original deadline due to the internal promotion restriction
• Candidates with ANECA accreditation for Associate Professor who were wrongly excluded
• Candidates with previous qualification or recognized European equivalence
• Already registered candidates who referenced positions with codes DL4335 or DL4336 and must verify their application
• University departments and personnel services of the University of Extremadura and the Extremadura Health Service that manage the process

Practical example

A specialist physician with ANECA accreditation for Associate Professor who works in the Extremadura Health Service read the original call of June 11, 2026 and did not apply because the internal promotion restriction prevented him from accessing it. After the correction published on July 25, that restriction disappears: he can now submit his application within the new 20-day deadline that starts on July 26, 2026.

Additionally, he must keep in mind that if the position he is applying for is assigned code DF4335 or DF4336, he must ensure he states the correct code (with prefix "DF", not "DL") in his application so that it is processed correctly.

On the other hand, this candidate must now prepare for two differentiated tests instead of just one, which implies a different preparation plan than what he would have anticipated with the original call.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify if you meet the new requirements: if you have ANECA accreditation, previous qualification or European equivalence for Associate Professor and did not apply due to the internal promotion restriction, you can now do so. The deadline is 20 natural days from July 26, 2026.
2. Review the position codes in your application: if you already submitted an application and referenced positions DL4335 or DL4336, check if you need to correct or reconfirm your candidacy with codes DF4335 and DF4336.
3. Adapt your preparation to the new evaluation format: the procedure for Associate Professor positions changes from a single test to two differentiated tests. Adjust your preparation plan accordingly.
4. Consult the complete corrected call: access the full text in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-16206) to verify all updated details before submitting your application.
5. Contact the personnel services of the UEx or SES if you have doubts about whether your profile fits the corrected requirements or about the status of an already submitted application.
