Appointment Criteria
BASIC CRITERIA IN THE APPOINTMENT OF TEACHING POSTS
The University of Málaga Staff Management Plan establishes a set of basic criteria for appointment of posts, so as to facilitate the decision-making process.
Academic Planning Document (DOPLA)
The Academic Planning Document (DOPLA) provides an estimate of academic involvement and teaching capacity in each field of knowledge, based on the standards established in the Teaching Staff Management Plan (POD). The DOPLA acts as a supporting document for decision-making regarding Academic Planning and Faculty Management.
Following the completion of DOPLA, an assessment of the teaching capacity for each area of knowledge, and a meeting with the workers' representative, the President's Office will establish, if applicable, the necessary modifications to the list of posts.
The DOPLA is published annually, usually before the teaching programme is developed.
Teaching Staff Coverage
Staff coverage will be met if the academic participation/teaching capacity ratio (as stated in the DOPLA), is no less than 1.
Ramón y Cajal Programme Contracts
Once the host Department puts forth the initiative for the contract, with a maximum duration of six months and a minimum of three, the procedure will begin for the creation, supply, and call for a PhD Assisstant Professor, PhD Contract Professor, or a University Senior Lecturer post, in line with the accreditation received by the contracted person and the University of Málaga's regulations on the creation, supply, and call for posts.

1. Give priority, when legally viable, to those cases of promotion from PhD Assistant Professor to PhD Contract Professor, and from “Ramón y Cajal” researchers to PhD Contract Professors and Univerity Senior Lecturer, as their contracts reach their expiration date.
2. Determine an order of precedence for the promotion to University Senior Lecturer, based on the following criteria:

In each list, the order of applications corresponds to the date that the aformentioned title position was certified; however, if more than one application were to have this same date, the order of precedence will depend on the date of submission of such application, effectively issued by the corresponding Office, as well as the seniority, including the time dedicated as Research Personnel in Training.
