Description:
Affiliated teaching staff for academic year 2025-2026
The UOC is an innovative university that is rooted in Catalonia and
open to the world. It offers people lifelong learning to help them and
society advance, while carrying out research into the knowledge
society.
The UOC wants to be a university that, by being connected to the
network of the world’s universities, drives the creation of a global
knowledge space and cutting-edge research in the knowledge society.
The UOC has an innovative educational model that focuses on the
student. The University offers them a top quality and personalized
education that helps them to be more competitive and contributes to
the progress of society.
The UOC is looking to hire affiliated teaching staff for the academic
year 2025/2026.
Affiliated teaching staff need to have experience and currently be
employed in their field. The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya needs
professionals whose main professional activity is linked to the
position they are applying for, enabling them to provide a quality
service. Therefore, applicants must have a main professional activity
that they will maintain alongside their work as affiliated teaching
staff.
Functions:
In an online learning environment, course instructors present, guide,
plan, stimulate, focus, motivate, assess and tie together students'
learning processes, with a proactive approach. It is the course
instructor's job to provide teaching assistance to students
(individually and collectively), monitoring their learning over the
semester and proposing improvements to the course. Course instructors
must settle doubts, offer examples and additional explanations that
make it easier for the student to understand the subject matter,
stimulate debate, encourage participation in forums, correct
assessment tests, provide feedback to help students' learning
processes, etc. In addition to these basic functions, those contracted
as course instructors may perform other activities related with the
preparation of learning resources.
Tutoring in the field of knowledge for the qualification is key to the
UOC's teaching model.
Tutors welcome new students, provide them with academic guidance on
anything relating to the educational programme, and help students
develop the skills they require to use the Virtual Campus to full
effect. Tutors introduce students to the tools and resources provided
by the UOC's virtual learning environment, enabling them to make the
best possible use of them as quickly as possible. Tutors also help
students discover the wide range of opportunities that university life
offers. In short, tutors provide personalized attention to help each
individual student feel part of the University community.
Tutors monitor students' academic activity and provide them with
general guidance as well as individual advice on their progress during
their studies at the university. Tutors also settle any doubts or
queries students might have.
Selection criteria:
Each candidate is assessed in all aspects, in accordance with the
requirements published in each specific profile, taking into account
each candidate's qualifications, professional and/or teaching
experience, and also the knowledge, skills, abilities and interests

- University qualification related to the knowledge area in which the
candidate wishes to collaborate.
- University and/or non-university teaching experience and/or
professional experience in the last three years related with the
knowledge area in which the candidate wishes to collaborate.
