Applications

Applications are to be made through the Generalitat de Catalunya's on-line applications website (OVT). A new feature is that applications through the OVT no longer require a user name or password.

All on-line applications must be signed: If a digital certificate is used for this, it will be automatically validated (all commonly used certificates are accepted by the OVT, including: IDCAT certificate, electronic ID, professional certificate signatures, Camerfirma, etc.). If a digital certificate is not used, the online application form is to be completed and sent and the acknowledgment of receipt form printed out, signed and sent by normal post to the Agency. Applications will otherwise not be accepted.

 PDF Resolution ECO/15/2013, 7 January, whereby notice was given of the procedure for the issue of pre-recruitment reports for posts of tenure-track lecturer at public universities for the 2013 academic year.

There are two rounds annually for submitting applications, one in February and one in September. The dates for the next calls for applications are from:

• from 25 February to 15 March 2013, inclusive.
