International Professional Staff
International Professional Staff (fixed-term appointments) work in a range of functional profiles in field locations, at Headquarters in Geneva, or in one of the Global Service Centres –⁠ Amman, Budapest and Copenhagen. These positions are subject to rotation, with staff required to change duty stations from time to time. UNHCR does its best to fill vacant International Professional positions internally. If no suitable internal candidate is identified, the organization will advertise these positions externally.   Please note that staff members will not normally serve in International Professional positions in the country of their nationality. In addition, in case of a first appointment upon recruitment, the assignment must be outside the staff member’s country of nationality. In case of a conversion from National Officer (NO) or General Service (GS) categories, the assignment cannot take place in the same country where the staff member is currently serving as NO or GS (irrespective of nationality).​
