What does this regulation establish?

The Resolution of the University of Alicante approves and publishes the call for a selective process to fill one civil service career position in the Middle Scale of Scientific and Technical Instrumentation and Infrastructure. The essential points are:

• Type of access: General system of open access (opposition open to any citizen who meets the requirements).
• Classification: Group A, Subgroup A2. This subgroup generally requires possession of a university degree, diploma, technical engineering or equivalent.
• Complete bases: Published in the DOGV no. 10394, of June 30, 2026. It is in that official gazette where all the requirements, curriculum, tests and applicable scales are found.
• Application deadline: 10 business days from the day following publication of the extract in the BOE (July 4, 2026).

The complete bases, with details of participation requirements, curriculum, structure of tests and evaluation criteria, are available in the DOGV no. 10394. Consultation is essential before submitting the application.

Economic and operational impact

For the applicant, accessing this position means joining university public service with the stability and remuneration conditions typical of Subgroup A2 of the Spanish Public Administration. This subgroup is positioned above Subgroup C1 and below Subgroup A1, with basic remuneration set annually in the General State Budget Law.

From an operational perspective, the critical aspects are:

• Only one position: Competition is maximum as it is a single vacancy in open access. Prior preparation of the curriculum is decisive.
