Recruitment

The recruitment and selection of professors and the open, transparent and merit-based hiring policy for researchers are an essential part of our human resources strategy.

The goal is to have the best talent in the organization, and over the years we have made progress in the evolution of our recruitment and selection tools and processes.

Our recruitment processes are open because all academic and research positions are exposed in different national and international media, including as a priority in portals such as Euraxess and YUFE. The information provided in the offer is comprehensive and the evaluation, based on merit, is not only based on quantitative metrics on publications. Selection committees are increasingly valuing the diversified backgrounds of candidates.

Reception Strategy and Protocol for Faculty

On one hand, different UC3M services are working together to prepare and implement a reception protocol that will define incorporation procedures for researchers invited to our University. This will include practical issues such as the researcher’s arrival as well as topics such as intellectual property, workplace security and institutional and management-related information

On the other hand, a reception plan is also being developed for national and international staff who are linked to UC3M. This will cover the main aspects of the university that a professor/researcher needs to know in order to effectively carry out his or her teaching and research work.  

The reception procedures implemented in our Jniversity are explained in full detail in the Guide for Managing the Movility of Foreign Research Staff in Spain, published  in 2017 by FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology). 

This guide is a collection of the main areas that foreign research staff need to address if they decide to persue part of their career in Spain. It helps resolve doubts, not only for  researchers themselves but also for the host institutions. The document covers subjects such as: the main characteristics of research and a research career in Spain, conditions of entry and residence, recognition of foreign academic degrees, the job market, social security and tax systems, national health and education systems and the EURAXESS  Spain network( which provides support to researchers during periods of mobility).
