UPV Announces 6 Archive, Library and Museum Assistant Positions: Requirements and Deadlines

Key data

The Universitat Politècnica de València announces 6 positions in the Scale of Archive, Library and Museum Assistants through competitive examination. The resolution, dated June 12, 2026 and published in the BOE on July 8, 2026, establishes two access routes with differentiated conditions and quotas, and sets a particularly tight application deadline that requires quick action.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces selective tests through the competitive examination system to fill positions in the Scale of Archive, Library and Museum Assistants of the UPV. The positions are distributed in two competitions with different rules:

A critical aspect: the 4 internal promotion positions that remain unfilled are not redistributed to open competition. They are declared vacant. This means that the maximum number of positions that can actually be filled by open competition is 2, regardless of the outcome of internal promotion.

Applications must be processed exclusively through the electronic headquarters of the UPV, within a period of 10 business days counted from the publication of the announcement in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV). Paper applications or applications submitted after the deadline are not accepted.

Economic and operational impact

For external candidates (open competition), accessing a position in subgroup A2 at a public university means joining a civil service career with remuneration regulated by the agreements and salary tables of the administration and services personnel of Valencian public universities.

For the UPV as an institution, filling these 6 positions consolidates staffing in the Scientific Library and Documentation area, reducing dependence on temporary or interim personnel in positions of technical responsibility.

From an operational perspective, the deadline of only 10 business days is the highest risk factor: any candidate who is not prepared with their documentation and digital certificate in order may be excluded from the process due to a simple administrative delay.

Who does it affect?

• Permanent civil servants of the UPV who belong to a compatible scale of origin and accredit at least 2 years of effective service: they are the recipients of the 4 internal promotion positions.
• External candidates with the subgroup A2 qualification required in Annex I of the announcement (Library Science, Documentation or equivalent): they can apply for the 2 open competition positions.
• HR managers and Management of the UPV: they must manage the selection process and ensure proper electronic processing of applications.
• Public employment advisors and exam preparation specialists in the field of Library Science and Documentation.

Practical example

A permanent civil servant of the UPV belonging to the Administrative Scale (subgroup C1) who has been active for 3 years wants to improve their professional category. If the announcement admits vertical internal promotion from their scale of origin, they could apply for one of the 4 internal promotion positions in subgroup A2, provided they meet the qualification requirement of Annex I and the minimum 2 years of effective service.

To do this, they must access the UPV's electronic headquarters with their digital certificate, complete the application and send it within the 10 business days from when the announcement is published in DOGV. If they submit the application on the 11th business day, they are automatically excluded from the process, with no possibility of correction for late submission.

On the other hand, a graduate in Information and Documentation outside the UPV can only apply for the 2 open competition positions. If the 4 internal promotion positions remain vacant, they do not benefit from that redistribution: those positions simply are not filled.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Verify the publication date in DOGV: the 10 business day deadline starts counting from that date, not from the BOE publication (July 8, 2026). Confirm the exact date in DOGV so you don't lose a single day.
2. Check compliance with requirements: open competition → qualification required in Annex I + general public employment requirements; internal promotion → be a permanent civil servant of the UPV with minimum 2 years of effective service in the scale of origin.
3. Prepare digital certificate or Cl@ve: the application is exclusively electronic. Without valid digital identification, it cannot be processed. Check that your certificate is not expired.
4. Gather supporting documentation: academic degree, certificate of services rendered (for internal promotion) and any other document required by Annex I before opening the application.
5. Submit the application with margin: don't wait until the last business day. Electronic systems may experience technical issues and the administration usually does not accept claims for computer failures if sufficient advance notice was not attempted.
6. External candidates: assume that there are only 2 positions available and that the 4 internal promotion positions will not be redistributed to open competition in any case.
