University of Murcia Professorships 2026: €48.61 fee and 100% digital process

Key data

University professors accredited for the Full Professor position have a new opportunity at the University of Murcia. The call, published on 25 September 2026 and supported by the Organic Law 2/2023 on the University System and Royal Decree 678/2023, activates positions included in the Public Employment Offer PDI 2025 approved by the Governing Council.

The process is exclusively digital and the participation fee is €48.61, with full exemption for those who accredit a disability equal to or greater than 33%.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution calls for a competition for access to Full Professor positions through internal promotion. The reference regulatory framework is Organic Law 2/2023 on the University System and Royal Decree 678/2023, which regulate the selection procedures for teaching and research staff (PDI) in Spanish public universities.

The most relevant procedural aspects are:

• 100% digital processing through the CONVOCUM PDI platform of the University of Murcia. No in-person or paper management is accepted.
• Declaration of compliance as the only initial document: candidates declare that they meet the required conditions without needing to provide documentation at the time of application.
• Exam fee of €48.61, with exemption for persons with recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%.
• Selection committees with balanced gender composition: no gender can represent less than 40% or more than 60% of committee members.
• Independent procedure per position: unless the call expressly groups several positions by field of knowledge, each position is processed autonomously.
• The positions called are integrated into the Public Employment Offer PDI 2025 approved by the Governing Council of the University of Murcia.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the direct cost of participation is reduced: €48.61 per position applied for. Those applying for multiple positions must pay the fee for each one, since each position is processed as an independent procedure.

For the University of Murcia, the call involves the activation of positions from the OEP PDI 2025, which implies budgetary commitments associated with the remuneration of Full Professors, significantly higher than Associate Professors. The most relevant operational impact is the requirement to manage each position as an independent file, with its own selection committee with balanced gender composition.

From the perspective of university departments, the call may affect teaching planning if selected candidates change category and, consequently, their obligations and remuneration rights.

Who does it affect?

• Accredited university professors for the Full Professor position who wish to access through internal promotion at the University of Murcia.
• University departments of UMU with positions included in the OEP PDI 2025, which must participate in the constitution of selection committees.
• Candidates with recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, who are exempt from paying the €48.61 fee.
• UMU governing bodies (Governing Council, Rectorate), responsible for ensuring compliance with balanced gender composition in committees.

Practical example

An Associate Professor at UMU, with accreditation for Full Professor obtained through ANECA, decides to apply for two positions announced in different fields of knowledge within this resolution.

Since these are independent procedures, they must:

1. Access the CONVOCUM PDI platform and complete an application for each position.
2. Pay €48.61 for each application, that is, a total of €97.22 if applying for two positions.
3. Submit a declaration of compliance with the required conditions, without needing to attach supporting documentation at this stage.

If this professor had recognized a disability of 35%, they would be exempt from paying both fees, provided they accredit this at the time of application.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify current accreditation: check that you have ANECA accreditation or equivalent for the Full Professor position before starting the application.
2. Access CONVOCUM PDI: register or log in to the University of Murcia's digital platform to consult the announced positions and their fields of knowledge.
3. Prepare the declaration of compliance: draft and sign the declaration of compliance with requirements, the only document required in the application phase.
4. Pay the €48.61 fee per position: make the digital payment within the deadline established in the call. Candidates with disability equal to or greater than 33% must accredit this circumstance to be exempt.
5. Check if positions of interest are grouped: verify if the call groups several positions by field of knowledge, which may simplify the application process.
