IFAPA calls for employment contracts for agricultural R&D&I projects
Por FactBox Admin
The Andalusian Institute for Research and Training in Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and Organic Production (IFAPA) has issued two calls for employment contracts within the framework of specific R&D&T projects. Both resolutions, signed on August 19, 2026, by the institute’s Presidency, are published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia (BOJA) number 167, dated August 28, 2026, within section 2.2 of “Competitive examinations, contests and other calls.”
The two calls, each nine pages long, fall under the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, upon which IFAPA depends. This is an employment opportunity aimed at researchers and technical personnel in the Andalusian agricultural sector, within the framework of the specific research, development, and training projects promoted by the organization.
Two calls in the same gazette
BOJA no. 167 contains two resolutions of identical purpose, both signed on August 19, 2026, by the Presidency of IFAPA, through which the call for employment contracts within the framework of specific R&D&T projects is made:
- Resolution of August 19, 2026, from the Presidency of IFAPA, making the call for employment contracts within the framework of specific R&D&T projects (text no. 11293, 9 pages).
- Resolution of August 19, 2026, from the Presidency of IFAPA, making the call for employment contracts within the framework of specific R&D&T projects (text no. 11313, 9 pages).
The simultaneous publication of two calls with the same title suggests the opening of two distinct lines or projects within the institute’s R&D&T program, although the details of positions, profiles, and deadlines are developed in the body of each resolution.
IFAPA, the engine of Andalusian agricultural research
IFAPA is the Andalusian public body dedicated to research, development, and training in the agricultural, fisheries, food, and organic production sectors. It depends on the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development and organizes its activity through centers and experimental farms distributed throughout the autonomous community.
These calls are part of the policy for attracting and stabilizing research personnel in the sector, and are added to other actions of the institute recently published in the BOJA, such as the resolution of July 6, 2026, which publicized the collaboration agreements and addenda signed in the first half of the year.
An opportunity for scientific employment in the primary sector
Employment contracting within the framework of specific R&D&I projects allows for the incorporation of research and technical personnel into work teams linked to specific lines of research, with funding associated with each project. For Andalusian agricultural researchers, these calls represent a pathway to qualified employment in the public science sector.
Interested parties should consult the full text of each resolution in BOJA no. 167 to learn about the requirements, the number of contracts offered, the requested profiles, and the application deadline.
