University of Salamanca Faculty Positions 2026: Requirements and Application Deadline

Key data

Doctors accredited by ANECA who aspire to a university teaching civil servant position have a very limited window of time: 15 business days from October 9, 2026 to submit their application to the University of Salamanca. The call is based on the Organic Law of the University System (LOSU) and on Royal Decree 678/2023, which regulates the system of access to university teaching staff.

The positions are part of the Public Employment Offer for Teaching and Research Staff (PDI) of USAL for 2025, authorized by the Regional Government of Castile and León. The official reference in the Official Gazette is BOE-A-2026-21025.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution calls for a competitive examination for positions in university teaching staff at the University of Salamanca. The essential points of the procedure are:

• Mandatory ANECA accreditation: candidates must be accredited by the National Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation for the teaching staff category they are applying for.
• Doctorate degree: an essential requirement to participate.
• Incompatibility of staff and area: those who already belong to the same teaching staff in the same area of knowledge at any Spanish university cannot apply.
• Independent procedure per position: each position has its own process, unless two or more share an identical profile, in which case they are processed jointly.
• Principles of equality and non-discrimination: the process respects the constitutional principles of equality, merit, capacity and non-discrimination.
• Exclusively electronic application: via digital certificate or Cl@ve system. Paper applications are not accepted.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the impact is direct: obtaining a position as a university teaching civil servant means accessing a stable job in the public sector, with the remuneration and stability conditions inherent to university teaching staff (University Professors, University Lecturer Professors or other positions called in this announcement).

For the University of Salamanca, this call is part of the execution of its Public Employment Offer for PDI 2025, which implies the incorporation of new civil servant staff charged to the budgets authorized by the Regional Government of Castile and León.

From an operational perspective, the 15 business day deadline is the critical factor: those who do not have the supporting documentation ready (current ANECA accreditation, doctorate degree, digital certificate or access to Cl@ve) will not be able to apply on time and in proper form. There is no room for last-minute procedures.

Who does it affect?

• Doctors accredited by ANECA who aspire to a civil servant position at the University of Salamanca.
• Researchers and contracted professors who have obtained accreditation and want to transition to civil servant status.
• Professors from other universities who do not already belong to the same teaching staff in the same area of knowledge.
• Departments and areas of knowledge at USAL that have positions called in this resolution.
• Human resources managers at universities who must coordinate the participation of their staff in external competitive examinations.

Practical example

A doctor in Hispanic Philology with ANECA accreditation as a University Lecturer Professor, who currently works as a contracted doctor professor at another Spanish university, can apply to this USAL competitive examination as long as they are not already a civil servant in the University Lecturer Professor category in the area of Hispanic Philology at any university.

Their specific roadmap would be:

1. Verify that their ANECA accreditation is current and corresponds to the teaching staff category being called.
2. Check that they have a digital certificate or active access to the Cl@ve system.
3. Submit the electronic application within the 15 business days from October 9, 2026 (approximate deadline: end of October 2026).
4. Follow the specific procedure for the position they are applying for, as each position has its own process unless it shares an identical profile with another.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify ANECA accreditation: check that it is current and corresponds exactly to the teaching staff category of the position being called.
2. Review incompatibility: confirm that you do not already belong to the same teaching staff in the same area of knowledge at any Spanish university.
3. Prepare electronic access: have your digital certificate or Cl@ve system operational before the deadline expires. Without electronic access, it is not possible to submit the application.
4. Consult the positions called: access the complete resolution in the Official Gazette (BOE-A-2026-21025) to identify the specific positions, areas of knowledge and required profiles.
5. Submit the application before the deadline: the 15 business days from October 9, 2026 expire approximately at the end of October. Do not wait until the last day to avoid technical problems with the electronic platform.
6. Follow the procedure for each position: remember that each position has an independent process unless it shares an identical profile with another position called in the same resolution.
