2 physician positions at UPV 2026: requirements, fee and application deadline

Key data

The Universitat Politècnica de València opens the door to two A1-level physician positions in its Special Administration staff. The announcement, published on October 20, 2026 and referenced as BOE-A-2026-21843, is governed by the general system of open access and establishes an extremely short application deadline: 10 business days counted from publication in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV), which serves as the reference for calculating deadlines.

For physicians seeking stability in public university employment, this announcement is a direct and limited opportunity. There is no room for delay.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces selective access tests to Subgroup A1, Special Administration, to fill 2 physician positions at the Universitat Politècnica de València through the general system of open competition.

The key points of the procedure are as follows:

Regarding the exemptions from the 30.57 euro fee, the announcement recognizes three cases:

• Members of special category large families
• Victims of gender-based violence
• Persons with disabilities equal to or greater than 33%

Economic and operational impact

The direct cost for the applicant is minimal: 30.57 euros participation fee. This amount is non-refundable unless the announcement is withdrawn due to causes attributable to the administration. Three groups are exempt from payment (special category large families, victims of gender-based violence and persons with disabilities equal to or greater than 33%).

The most relevant operational impact is the extremely short deadline: 10 business days from publication in the DOGV. This means that any applicant who is not prepared with the documentation at the time of publication may lose the opportunity. Submission is exclusively electronic through the UPV electronic office, which requires having a digital certificate or valid electronic identification system.

For the university itself, the announcement implies the incorporation of up to 2 healthcare professionals into its Special Administration staff at the highest level (A1), with the budgetary and human resources management implications that this entails.

Who does it affect?

• Graduates and holders of degrees in Medicine seeking stable public employment in the university sector in the Valencian Community
• Active physicians wishing to transfer or expand their activity to the public university sector
• Persons with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% with a degree in Medicine, who have fee exemption and the right to request accommodations
• Victims of gender-based violence with qualifying degrees, with fee exemption
• Members of special category large families with degrees in Medicine, with fee exemption
• HR advisors and managers of university institutions who must inform potential internal candidates

Practical example

A physician graduate currently working in the private sector in Valencia who wants to access public university employment should act as follows from the day of publication in the DOGV:

1. Access the UPV electronic office with their digital certificate.
2. Complete the participation application, indicating whether they request accommodations (in case of disability equal to or greater than 33%, they must do so at this moment, not later).
3. Pay the fee of 30.57 euros through the enabled payment system (or prove their exemption if they belong to one of the three exempt groups).
4. Submit the application before the 10 business day deadline from publication in the DOGV expires.

If the applicant has a recognized disability of 33% or higher, not only are they exempt from the 30.57 euros, but they can request the necessary accommodations to take the tests on equal terms. This procedure must be done at the time of the application: it cannot be requested later.

What should applicants do now?

1. Verify the publication date in the DOGV to accurately calculate the last business day of the application deadline (10 business days from that date, not from the BOE).
2. Check that you meet the qualifying degree requirement: a graduate or holder of a degree in Medicine is required, as well as the general requirements for access to public employment.
3. Obtain or renew the digital certificate if you do not have one, since submission is exclusively electronic through the UPV electronic office.
4. Verify if you are entitled to fee exemption (special category large family, victim of gender-based violence or disability equal to or greater than 33%) and prepare supporting documentation.
5. Request accommodations in the application if you have any recognized disability: this procedure cannot be done after submitting the application.
6. Pay the fee of 30.57 euros (or prove exemption) at the time of submitting the application.
7. Consult the complete announcement in the official source to learn about the syllabus, scoring system and phases of the selection process.
