Associate Professors of University and scientific researchers with state accreditation to the Professor body have a window of 15 calendar days to access the highest category of the university teaching career at the University of León. The call is based on the Organic Law of the University System (LOSU) and on Royal Decree 678/2023, which regulates the system of competitions for access to university teaching positions.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution announces a competition for access to Professor positions through internal promotion at the University of León. This is not an open competition: the pathway is exclusively internal promotion, which restricts access to career civil servants already integrated into the public university system.
The participation requirements are as follows:
- Be a career civil servant of the Associate Professor of University body or of the Scientific Researchers body.
- Accredit a minimum of two years of effective service in that body.
- Have state accreditation to the Professor of University body, issued by the National Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation (ANECA) or equivalent regional agency.
Applications must be submitted preferably through electronic means within the 15-day calendar period from publication of the call (October 8, 2026).

Economic and operational impact
The direct cost of participating in this competition is €65 as an examination fee. However, there are three cases of total exemption:
- Persons with a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%.
- Members of large families recognized as such.
- Job seekers who do not receive income exceeding the Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI).
Beyond the fee, the real impact for the candidate is the opportunity to access the Professor of University body, with the resulting improvement in remuneration and position in the university ranking. For the University of León, the call represents filling positions of the highest academic rank through a regulated and transparent process.
Operationally, preferential submission through electronic means reduces administrative burden and the risk of processing errors. Candidates must have their supporting documentation ready before the deadline expires.
Who does it affect?
- Associate Professors of University with state accreditation to the Professor body and at least two years of effective service.
- Scientific Researchers career civil servants with the same seniority and accreditation requirements.
- Departments and deaneries of the University of León that manage the filling of high-rank teaching positions.
- HR managers at public universities that monitor internal promotion calls in the sector.
Practical example
An Associate Professor of University assigned to the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of León who obtained his accreditation as Professor by ANECA in 2024 and has been a career civil servant for four years meets all the requirements of this call.
His specific roadmap would be:
- Access the electronic platform of the University of León before October 23, 2026 (15 calendar days from October 8).
- Pay the €65 fee or prove exemption if he belongs to one of the beneficiary groups.
- Attach supporting documentation: career civil servant certificate, certificate of services rendered, and state accreditation resolution to the Professor body.
If he does not submit the application within the deadline, he will lose the opportunity to access this specific call and will have to wait for a new resolution from the university.

- Submit the application through the electronic platform of the University of León, the preferred channel according to the call, before the 15-day calendar period expires (approximately October 23, 2026).
