Description

Characteristics, number and duration of contracts.

Applications are invited for Visiting Professor positions for the 2026/2027 academic year, the number of which will be determined by the available budget.

Visiting Professors are teaching or research staff hired on an exceptional and temporary basis under an employment contract that maintains their civil service or employment relationship with their original institutions.

The duration of the contract will be six months, extendable for the same period, subject to agreement by both parties, up to a maximum of two years. Any extensions and their corresponding time periods will be subject to the processing and granting of the relevant residence and work permits and the approval of the Governing Council.

Visiting Professors shall be required to teach a maximum of eight hours per week, at undergraduate or postgraduate level, preferably in English, as part of the University of Jaén's Bilingualism Programme.

The gross remuneration of visiting lecturers will be proposed by the Academic Planning Committee and approved by the Governing Council. It will be equivalent to one of the contractual positions provided for in current legislation and will be, at most, equivalent to that of permanent teaching staff/contracted doctoral teaching staff.

Regardless of the remuneration corresponding to visiting professors, the University of Jaén may offer additional specific grants to cover installation costs, depending on budget availability.
