Eligibility
- Applicant must be a national of a UNESCO member state.
- Qualified candidates from non- and under-represented Member states are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Candidates should demonstrate an excellent knowledge of at least one working language of the Secretariat (English or French). A good knowledge of the other working language is an asset, or in some cases, is required.
- Knowledge of Arabic, Chinese, Russian or Spanish could be required or would be an additional asset.
Application
After a thorough assessment of the applications and a pre-selection based on video interviews and/or written tests, short-listed candidates will be interviewed for the final stage of the selection, with a view to appointment by September/October 2022. Candidates not appointed will be reviewed for inclusion in the Talent Pools.
