Recognition of teaching positions obtained in university education at an accredited higher education institution abroad*

Details

I. Purpose of the procedure:

Establishes the manner in which the teaching positions in higher education obtained in accredited foreign higher education institutions are automatically recognized by the University of Bucharest, according to the Methodology included in Annex OMENC no. 5922/15.12.2016.

II. Scope of application:

This procedure establishes how interested persons can benefit from the recognition of teaching positions obtained at other accredited educational institutions, on the basis of international conventions of mutual recognition concluded at intergovernmental or interuniversity level. It applies to Romanian citizens, citizens of the Member States of the European Union, of the European Economic Area, of the Swiss Confederation and to citizens of third countries.
The recognition by the University of Bucharest of teaching positions, under the conditions of this procedure, is carried out based on the submission by interested persons of a recognition file.

III. Generalities:

Filling a teaching position in the Romanian system of higher education is carried out according to the legal norms in force. The University of Bucharest recognizes the teaching position obtained in foreign university institutions for persons wishing to access vacant teaching or research positions, at their written request.
The University of Bucharest offers automatic recognition if the applicant has obtained the teaching position at a higher education institution in the EU, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, or from institutions included in the List of prestigious universities in other countries approved by OMECTS no.3158/2012.
Requests for recognition of the teaching position are resolved by the Recognition Commission, appointed by the Rector, according to this procedure. The Recognition Commission will issue a resolution of recognition or non-recognition, as appropriate.
The recognition/non-recognition of the teaching position is carried out by the Rector's decision, issued within a maximum of 30 days, based on the resolution of the Recognition Commission.

IV. To initiate the procedure for the recognition of the teaching position the applicant shall submit to the Human Resources Department - Recruitment, Selection, and Personnel Evaluation Office a recognition file containing the following documents in Romanian, English, or French (or in a certified translation into one of these languages):

(IV.a) application for recognition registered at the university’s registry,
(IV.b) identity document, copy and proof of name change, copy and legalized translation if applicable (personal data will be processed and used in accordance with the legislation in force),
(IV.c) proof of the teaching position, issued by accredited higher education or research-development institutions in a Member State of the EU, the European Economic Area, and the Swiss Confederation;
(IV.d) PhD diploma/certificate of recognition of the doctoral title issued by the University of Bucharest/certificate of recognition from CNRED (if the study document is obtained from accredited foreign higher education institutions other than EU, EEA, Swiss Confederation states and from prestigious universities in other countries included in the List of prestigious universities, approved by MECS Order),
(IV.e) diploma/certificate attesting the quality of PhD supervisor or habilitation (if applicable, but mandatory for the recognition of the quality of university professor),
(IV.f) applicant’s curriculum vitae including details regarding previous activity,
(IV.g) applicant’s list of works.

Content and role of used documents:

The study documents subject to recognition are authenticated with the Hague Apostille, for states that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, and for other states the study documents are superlegalized or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authorities in the country of origin.
Exemption from apostille or superlegalization is allowed under the law, an international treaty to which Romania is a party, on the basis of reciprocity or on the basis of special approval from the management of the University of Bucharest.
