- Fluent English or French. Knowledge of both working languages would be an asset. Knowledge of Arabic, Chinese, Russian or Spanish would be an additional asset.
Selection will also be based on the organisation’s core values of integrity, professionalism, respect for diversity and commitment to UNESCO’s mandate, and to the wider UN system. An initial professional experience would be an asset but is not mandatory.
The selected candidates, if successful through all the stages of the application process, will be appointed as UNESCO staff members on a regular fixed-term contract at P-1/P-2 level. Assignments may be either at headquarters or in a field office. The renewal of their contract will depend on the evaluation of their performance during the first 9 months probationary period.
