Qualification and application for university professorships: new (LPR)!

The Law on Research Programming has modified the conditions for the recruitment of university professors. The different means of access fixed by article 46 of the decree of 6 June 1984 have been kept.

The law on research programming has abolished the CNU’s registration on a list of qualifications for university professors for all candidates who have the status of full professor (or equivalent teacher-researcher), as soon as it comes into force and for all sections of the CNU (article 5 of law N° 2020-1674 of 24 December 2020).

  • If the teacher-researcher is a tenured lecturer (or equivalent) at the date of examination of the admissibility of the application, he/she may apply for one or more university professor positions open to competition even if he/she does not hold a valid “university professor” qualification. It is not necessary to apply for it either.
  • If the candidate is not a full professor (or teacher-researcher of equivalent status) on that same date, he/she must have a valid qualification as a university professor issued by the CNU.

Please note: the other statutory conditions, such as holding an HDR or being exempted by the CNU, remain.

Following numerous requests, the HR Department has published a new note clarifying the conditions for exemption from qualification for the functions of University Professor.
