Full Professor Positions at UAL 2026: Requirements, Deadlines and How to Apply

Key data

Associate Professors of University at UAL who have state accreditation for Full Professor now have a concrete window of opportunity: the Resolution of June 30, 2026 activates the internal promotion process to the Full Professor body. The deadline is tight — 20 calendar days — and the submission of applications is carried out exclusively through the official electronic bulletin board of UAL.

This call is for internal promotion, which means it is not open to the general market: only career civil servants from the Associate Professor of University body who meet the specific requirements established in the resolution can participate.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces positions in the Full Professor of University body through an access competition by internal promotion at the University of Almería. Below are the participation requirements and the conditions of the process:

Once the position is obtained, the civil servant is obliged to remain at the University of Almería for a minimum of two years before being able to participate in access competitions in other university institutions. All monitoring of the process is carried out through the official electronic bulletin board of UAL.

Economic and operational impact

Promotion to the Full Professor of University body entails a direct and significant economic impact for the candidate. The salary of a Full Professor of University is higher than that of Associate Professor, with differences in the position supplement and in the recognized research periods (six-year periods). Although the resolution does not detail specific salary amounts, promotion in practice means a relevant salary increase in accordance with the salary tables of the university public sector.

From an operational point of view, the key aspects to manage are:

• Very tight deadline: 20 calendar days from July 4, 2026, which in summer may coincide with vacation periods. Management must begin immediately.
• 100% electronic processing: It is essential to have operational access to the UAL electronic bulletin board and to have a valid digital certificate or identification system.
• Permanence commitment: Obtaining the position implies a minimum two-year link with UAL, which must be assessed if the candidate has short-term mobility prospects.
• Mandatory prior accreditation: Without valid state accreditation for Full Professor, it is not possible to participate. This requirement must be verified before initiating any procedure.

Who does it affect?

• Associate Professors of University at UAL with state accreditation for Full Professor.
• Career civil servants of the Associate Professor of University body with at least 2 years of effective service.
• Active doctors at the University of Almería who meet all the requirements of the call.
• University departments at UAL that manage the coverage of Full Professor positions.
• Human Resources Services of the University of Almería, responsible for processing and monitoring the process.

Practical example

An Associate Professor of University at UAL who obtained his position in September 2023 and received his accreditation as Full Professor by ANECA in 2025 meets the requirements: he has more than two years of effective service and has the required state accreditation. Additionally, he is a doctor and has not been subject to disciplinary proceedings.

This professor must submit his application electronically through the official electronic bulletin board of UAL before 20 calendar days have elapsed from July 4, 2026, that is, before July 24, 2026 (inclusive). If he obtains the position, he will be assigned to UAL as a Full Professor of University and will not be able to compete in another institution until, at the earliest, the summer of 2028.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Verify state accreditation: Confirm that you have valid accreditation for the Full Professor of University body issued by the competent state body (ANECA or equivalent recognized regional body).
2. Check seniority: Prove a minimum of 2 years of effective service as a career civil servant of the Associate Professor of University body.
3. Access the UAL electronic bulletin board: Verify that you have operational access to the official electronic system of the University of Almería and that your digital certificate is in force.
4. Submit the application before the deadline: The 20 calendar day period from July 4, 2026 expires approximately on July 24, 2026. No extension is provided.
5. Assess the permanence commitment: Keep in mind that obtaining the position implies remaining at UAL for at least 2 years before being able to compete in another university institution.
6. Follow the process on the official bulletin board: All development of the access competition — publication of lists, court proceedings, resolution — is communicated exclusively through the official electronic bulletin board of UAL.
