6. RESEARCHER LEADING THEIR RESEARCH AREA OR FIELD: R4

set in the agreement of this university’s Governing Board on 27 April 2016 and modified
on 8 July 2019, which approve the Programme for the Teaching and Research Staff of
the Miguel Hernández University with a National Accreditation Certificate to Access the
University 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.

B.-RESEARCHERS RECRUITED FOLLOWING THE CATEGORIES INCLUDED IN
SPANISH LAW 14/2011, OF 1 JUNE, ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
THROUGH HIGHLY COMPETITIVE CALLS

The university is required to allocate at least 15% of the positions on offer to PhD research
staff that completed the Ramón y Cajal programme and obtained the I3 certificate. If all
the positions reserved this way are not filled, they may be offered to other researchers
from programmes of excellence, whether national or international, and who obtained
the I3 certificate. This promotion and stabilisation process is conditioned by the human
resources policies of each university, in line with the current budget availability and re-
gulatory framework.

This second path enables a connection that can be consolidated between the UMH and
researchers with an I3 certificate and an accreditation as Temporary PhD or Full Lecturers
of this university. The connection is achieved by passing the relevant competition. Candi-
dates from the following programmes, among others, are eligible:

1. Ramón y Cajal programme.

2. Researchers from Excellent Science programmes of the European Union.

3. Researchers from the GenT programme of the Valencia Regional government.

4. Researchers from the Beatriz Galindo programme.

5. Researchers from the Marie Curie programme.

6. Researchers from the Juan de la Cierva programme.

When the training processes confirmed in the corresponding calls come to an end, the
UMH will study the promotion options for research staff from other programmes and/or
current or future competitive calls.

Final Provision: Pursuant to Organic Law 3/2007, of 22 March, for effective equality be-
tween women and men, as well as Spanish Law 9/2003, of 2 April, of the Valencia Regio-
nal Government, for equality among women and men, any reference to people, groups
or academic positions using the male gender, will be alluding to the neutral grammati-
cal gender; therefore, this includes the possibility of referring to both women and men.
