6. RESEARCHER LEADING THEIR RESEARCH AREA OR FIELD: R4

(A) TEACHING STAFF THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF THE CATEGORIES INCLUDED IN OR-
GANIC LAW 6/2001, OF 21 DECEMBER, ON UNIVERSITIES

This path will enable:

I.- The promotion of Assistant Lecturers with the corresponding accreditation, to As-
sistant PhD Lecturers, by passing the relevant competition.

This will generally also require the lapsing of the maximum period established for this
position by law. Prior promotion may be assessed by the Vice-rectorate for Teaching Staff
after obtaining an accreditation by the requester and on the petition of the Department
that the position is assigned to, as long as the department’s saturation and budget avai-
lability so allow.

II.- The promotion of Assistant PhD Lecturers with the corresponding accreditation, to
Temporary PhD Lecturers, by passing the relevant competition.

This will generally also require the lapsing of the maximum period established for this
position by law. Prior promotion may only be assessed by the Vice-rectorate for Teaching
Staff after obtaining an accreditation by the requester and on the petition of the Depart-
ment that the position is assigned to, as long as the department’s saturation, budget avai-
lability and annual replacement rate so allow. The decisive criteria for establishing priority
in the promotion will be to have finished the maximum duration of the Assistant PhD
Lecturer contract. The call for one of these positions, while subject to the legal limitations
of the replacement rate, will always be included in the university’s OEPs.

The promotion and stabilisation processes of the two previous sections are conditioned
by the human resources policies of each university, in line with the valid budget availabi-
lity and regulatory framework.

III.- The promotion of Temporary PhD Lecturers with the corresponding accreditation,
to Full University Lecturers, by passing the relevant competition. Departments with fu-
ll-time temporary lecturers who have obtained the national accreditation to become part
of the body of Full University Lecturers may request, following an agreement of its Depart-
ment Board, the provision of positions of Full University Lecturer in line with the require-
ments set in this university’s Governing Board’s agreement on 27 April 2016 and modified
on 8 July 2019, which approves the Programme for the Teaching and Research Staff of
the Miguel Hernández University with a National Accreditation Certificate to Access the
University’s Educational Bodies. The call for one of these positions, while subject to the
legal limitations of the replacement rate, will always be included in the university’s OEPs.

IV.- The promotion of Full University Lecturers with the corresponding accreditation,
to University Professor, by passing the relevant competition. Departments with full-time
temporary lecturers who have obtained the national accreditation to become part of the
body of Full University Lecturers may request, following an agreement of its Department
Board, the provision of positions of University Professor in line with the requirements
