Job Details

The candidate is expected to join the academic staff at UPF Law Department, to teach and research on Civil Law, to take part in the Department's research activities and to hold the management positions that are allowed as Tenure Track.

The salary will be the equivalent to that provided by the Pompeu Fabra University for the category of Full-Time Associate Professor (approximately € 38,340 per year).

Acceptance of the position implies a fixed-term contract of five years, following the distinguished researcher contract model provided for in Law 14/2011 on science, technology and innovation.

One year before the expiration of the contract, the candidate will be evaluated by a Teaching Staff Committee (see below for evaluation criteria).

The selection process will be divided into two stages.
The first stage will consist of an assessment of the specific merits of each candidate that will not require their presence.
The best candidates chosen in the first stage will participate in the second stage, which will consist of a public seminar where candidates will need to be present (as long as health circumstances allow it). This will be followed by an interview with members of the selection committee.

Candidates interested in the position must provide the following documentation:
  • Ph.D. qualification or a receipt confirming it has been applied for
  • Full CV (up to 10 pages)
  • Report on the applicant's background as a teacher in the field of Civil Law
  • Report on the applicant's background as a researcher in the field of Civil Law
  • Two recomendation letters
  • A teaching project in Civil Law to be developed in the following 5 years (up to 2 pages)
  • A research project in Civil Law to be developed in the following 5 years (up to 2 pages)
  • Management reports and other merits: the exercise of management positions and other direct or institutional tasks, as well as other academic and professional achievements, will be taken into account.


Candidates must send the documentation [in PDF format] by email to rrhh.dret@upf.edu, quoting the reference: Ref. 2020_DRETCIVIL_TT01

Assesment criteria one year before the expiration of the contract

In accordance with art. 11 of the agreement of the Management Board of July 6, 2016, on the tenure-track system for recruiting and retaining talent, the tenure-track researcher will be evaluated with internationally comparable criteria in the penultimate year of the contract, by a commission. This Evaluation Commission will be similar to the Selection Commission, including external professors and from the same department/UCA Law.

The evaluation will consider that after four years, at least three articles have been published in JCR or SCOPUS. Exceptionally, one of the three articles may be published in CARHUS Plus ("A").

In addition, they must have participated in one R&D project (full time) or two (part time) directed by professors from the UPF Law Department.

The result of this evaluation will recommend the continuation of this professor or the end of the contract.

In the event of a negative evaluation, the candidate will have one more year of contract before its ending and will be able to present, where appropriate, allegations to the final decision of the evaluation to the Teaching Staff Committee.

In case of a positive evaluation, the candidate will have one year to obtain the administrative accreditations that allow him/her to apply for a permanent position.
