Six civil servant positions in veterinary specialties: that is the result of the Resolution of October 8, 2026 from the University of Zaragoza, published in the BOE of October 16, 2026. The call activates the deadline for submitting applications the day after that publication, that is, October 17, 2026, and applicants have 20 calendar days to register.
The positions belong to the Scale of Senior Laboratory and Workshop Technicians and are distributed among three veterinary specialties with different access systems. For any technician with veterinary training who aspires to a stable civil servant position in the Aragonese public university, this call is the direct opportunity to follow.
What does this call establish?
The call offers the 6 positions distributed in three modalities with differentiated selective systems. The complete detail is as follows:
| Specialty | Positions | Access system | Modality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veterinary | 1 | Internal promotion | Competitive examination |
| Veterinary in equine clinic | 1 | Open access | Competitive examination |
| Veterinary in small animal clinic | 4 | Open access | Examination |
The complete bases — including qualification requirements, syllabi, merit scales and admission procedures — are published in the Official Bulletin of Aragón no. 196, October 8, 2026. It is in that bulletin where applicants should consult all required documentation and the development of the selective process.
It is worth highlighting the difference between the selective systems applied:
- Examination (4 small animal positions, open access): the process is based exclusively on eliminatory tests.
- Competitive examination (equine clinic position in open access and veterinary position in internal promotion): combines tests with evaluation of accredited merits.
Economic and operational impact
For applicants, obtaining one of these positions means accessing the status of civil servant at the University of Zaragoza, with the guarantees of stability, remuneration regulated by the university administration and services personnel agreement, and the rights inherent to public employment.
From an operational perspective, the university's veterinary departments and services that fill these vacancies will gain stable technical capacity, especially in the areas of equine clinic and small animal clinic, where 5 of the 6 positions called are concentrated.
For current employees with temporary or interim contracts at the University of Zaragoza with a veterinary profile, the internal promotion position (competitive examination) represents the way to consolidate their position as civil servants without competing in open access.
Who does it affect?
- Veterinary technicians seeking a civil servant position at the public university.
- Veterinarians specialized in equine clinic interested in the Aragonese university sector.
- Veterinarians specialized in small animal clinic (4 positions available, the largest offer in this call).
- Interim or contracted personnel at the University of Zaragoza with a veterinary profile who can opt for the internal promotion position.
- HR managers and personnel services at the University of Zaragoza, who must manage the selective process and the incorporation of new civil servants.
Practical example
A veterinarian specialized in small animal clinic who currently works as temporary labor personnel at the University of Zaragoza faces a specific situation: they can apply for the 4 open access positions in that specialty through the examination system. Being open access, they compete with any external applicant who meets the qualification requirements established in BOA no. 196.
If they have also been working at the university for some time and meet the internal promotion requirements, they could also consider whether they can opt for the veterinary position by internal promotion (competitive examination), where their accumulated merits would have weight in the final evaluation. In that case, they should review in the BOA whether their current category gives access to that route.
The deadline to act is clear: 20 calendar days from October 17, 2026. After that deadline, there is no possibility of submitting an application.
What should applicants do now?
- Consult BOA no. 196 (October 8, 2026) to read the complete bases: qualification requirements, required documentation, syllabus and merit scale according to specialty and access system.
- Verify compliance with requirements before submitting the application: qualification, specialty and, in the case of the internal promotion position, the status of civil servant or permanent labor personnel at the university.
- Prepare the required documentation according to the bases (qualification, merits for competitive examination, etc.) with sufficient time within the 20 calendar day deadline.
- Submit the application before the deadline expires: the 20 calendar days start on October 17, 2026. Do not wait until the last day to avoid technical or administrative problems.
- Follow official publications from the University of Zaragoza to learn about the lists of admitted applicants, exam dates and any incidents in the selective process.
