8 Fixed Positions at University of Salamanca 2026: Requirements, Groups and Application Deadline

Key data

The University of Salamanca opens 8 fixed public employment positions through open competitive examination, published in the BOE of July 8, 2026. These positions come from vacancies not filled in the previous internal promotion call and are included in the Public Employment Offers (OEP) of 2021 and 2022. The resulting contracts will be of a fixed nature, subject to the general working hours of Public Administrations.

The most urgent fact: the application deadline is 20 calendar days from publication in the BOE, placing the closing date approximately on July 28, 2026. There is no extension planned and exclusion due to failure to pay fees is not subsanable.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a selective process of open competitive examination to fill fixed-term staff positions at the University of Salamanca. The distribution of positions by group is as follows:

Applicants must meet three general requirements: nationality (Spanish or authorized by public employment access regulations), specific qualification according to the group applied for, and functional capacity to perform the duties of the position.

The positions originate from vacancies not filled during the previous internal promotion process, which explains why they are now open to general access. The resulting contracts will be governed by the II Collective Agreement for Staff of Public Universities in Castilla y León and will be subject to the general working hours of Public Administrations.

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, the main economic impact is twofold: the cost of participation fees (whose non-payment within the deadline results in non-subsanable exclusion) and the stability offered by a fixed-term employment contract at a public university.

From an operational perspective, there are three critical conditions that define the process:

• Exclusively electronic application: paper or in-person applications are not accepted. The applicant must have a digital certificate or equivalent identification system.
• Fee payment within deadline: failure to pay within the 20 calendar day deadline is grounds for definitive exclusion, with no possibility of correction afterwards.
• Non-extendable deadline: the application deadline closing is approximately July 28, 2026, in the middle of the summer period, which reduces the margin for reaction.

For the University of Salamanca itself, this announcement means filling vacancies carried over from the OEP of 2021 and 2022, with the consequent impact on staffing and the provision of university services.

Who does it affect?

• People seeking fixed public employment who meet the qualification requirements for groups II, III or IVA.
• Medium-level graduates interested in Group II (2 positions).
• Specialist technicians with the specific qualification required for Group III (5 positions).
• Candidates with an official profile for Group IVA (1 position).
• Citizens with Spanish nationality or authorized to access public employment in Spain.
• Employment advisors and labor counselors who manage applications for university competitive examinations in Castilla y León.

Practical example

A specialist technician in computer science (Group III) who wants to apply for one of the 5 positions in that group must follow this specific path:

1. Verify that you meet the specific qualification requirement for the Group III position you are applying for.
2. Access the electronic headquarters of the University of Salamanca before the deadline closes (approximately July 28, 2026).
3. Complete the online application and pay the participation fees within that same 20 calendar day period. If you pay the fees after the deadline, you are excluded with no possibility of appeal for this reason.
4. Prepare for the examination phase and, subsequently, the competitive phase, in accordance with the specific bases of the announcement.
5. If you pass the process, you obtain a fixed-term employment contract, with general working hours of Public Administrations and conditions of the II Collective Agreement for Staff of Public Universities in Castilla y León.

What should applicants do now?

1. Verify the group and required qualification: consult the complete bases of the announcement in the BOE to confirm that your qualification fits the group you are applying for (II, III or IVA).
2. Prepare electronic identification: the application is exclusively through electronic headquarters. If you don't have an active digital certificate or Cl@ve, activate them before the deadline ends.
3. Submit the application and pay the fees before July 28, 2026: the 20 calendar day period from July 8 admits no exceptions. Non-payment of fees within the deadline is grounds for non-subsanable exclusion.
4. Keep the payment and submission receipt: keep all electronic receipts as proof of timely participation.
5. Follow the process development: once the deadline closes, the University will publish the lists of admitted and excluded applicants. Regularly check the electronic headquarters and the BOE so you don't miss deadlines for objections or exercise completion.
