Vacancy for the Director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, Stockholm

(Temporary Agent — Grade AD 14)

COM/2014/10365

2014/C 354 A/01

We are

In order to enhance the capacity of the European Union to protect human health through the prevention and control of human disease, the mission of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is to identify, assess and communicate current and emerging threats to human health from communicable diseases (1).

Within the field of its mission, ECDC shall: search for, collect, collate, evaluate and disseminate relevant scientific and technical data; provide scientific opinions and scientific and technical assistance including training; provide timely information to the European Commission, Member States, EU agencies and international organisations active in the area of public health; coordinate the European networking of bodies operating in the fields within the Centre's mission, including networks arising from public health activities supported by the Commission and operating the dedicated surveillance networks and exchange information, expertise and best practices, and facilitate the development and implementation of joint actions.

The Decision on serious cross-border threats to health (2), reinforces the health security in the European Union and improves the protection of citizens from a wide range of health threats. It will help Member States prepare for and protect citizens against possible future pandemics and serious cross-border threats caused by communicable diseases, chemical, biological or environmental events. The Decision clarifies the link between ECDC and the EU legislative arrangements on serious cross border health threats.

ECDC has its seat in Stockholm, Sweden.

Independence and declaration of interests

The Director will be required to make a declaration of commitment to act independently in the public interest and to make a declaration in respect of any interests which might be considered prejudicial to his/her independence. Candidates must confirm their willingness to do so in their application.

Due to the particular nature of the functions, candidates invited to pre-selection interviews will be required to sign a declaration relating to their current or future interests that might be considered prejudicial to their independence.

In accordance with Article 16 of the Staff Regulations (5), which provisions apply by analogy to temporary Agents, the Director shall, after leaving the service, continue to be bound by the duty to behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance of certain appointments or benefits.

This includes the obligation to inform the Management Board of ECDC of the intention to engage in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, within two years of leaving the service. If that activity is related to the work carried out during the last three years in service and could lead to a conflict with the legitimate interests of ECDC, the Management Board of ECDC may, having regard to the interests of the service, either forbid from undertaking it or give its approval subject to any conditions it thinks fit.

Selection and appointment

The Director will be appointed by the Management Board of ECDC on the basis of a list drawn up by the European Commission after having made a statement to and answering questions from the European Parliament. This call is the basis for the establishment of the European Commission's list. Candidates should note that the inclusion in the list does not guarantee appointment.

A pre-selection panel will be set up by the European Commission. This panel will invite applicants with the best profile for the specific requirements of the post to an interview, selected on the basis of their merits and the criteria set out above. The pre-selection panel will draw up a list of candidates which are proposed for a further interview with the European Commission's Consultative Committee on Appointments (CCA). Candidates who are called for an interview with the CCA will have to undergo testing by an assessment centre run by external recruitment consultants. Candidates who are shortlisted by the CCA will then be interviewed by the relevant Commissioners.

Following these interviews, the European Commission will adopt a list of candidates, which will be communicated to the Management Board of ECDC.

The latter will interview these candidates and appoint a candidate. Before appointment by the Management Board, the nominated candidate will be asked to address the European Parliament and to reply to questions.

Candidates may be required to undergo further interviews or tests in addition to those indicated above.

Equal opportunities

The European Union applies a policy of equal opportunities and non-discrimination in accordance with Article 1d of the Staff Regulations (6). It takes great care to avoid any form of discrimination in its recruitment procedures and actively encourages applications from women.

Conditions of employment

The Director will be appointed as a staff of ECDC as a temporary agent at grade AD 14 pursuant to Article 2(a) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities (7) for a five-year period, which may be renewed once.

The place of employment is Stockholm (Sweden), where ECDC is based.

Application procedure

Before submitting your application, you should carefully check whether you meet all the conditions for eligibility criteria, in particular those regarding the required type of diplomas and professional experience.

If you want to apply, you must apply via the Internet by going to the website

https://ec.europa.eu/dgs/human-resources/seniormanagementvacancies/

and follow the instructions there concerning the various stages of the procedure.

You have to complete your on-line registration in time (8). We strongly advise you not to wait until the last few days before applying, since heavy Internet traffic or a fault with your Internet connection could lead to the on-line registration being terminated before you complete it, thereby obliging you to repeat the whole process. Once the deadline for submission of applications has passed, you will not be able to apply. Late registrations via normal e-mail will not be accepted as a general rule.

You need a valid e-mail address. This will be used to confirm the creation of your account and to keep you informed about the outcome of the selection procedure. Please, inform the European Commission about any change in your e-mail address.

You will have to upload a CV (in WORD or PDF format) and to enter, online, a motivation letter (maximum 8  000 characters). The CV and the motivation letter should be written in English, French or German.

Candidates invited to pre-selection interviews will be required to sign a declaration relating to their current or future interests that might be considered prejudicial to their independence.

If you do not receive a registration number, your application has not been registered!

Please note that it is not possible to monitor progress of your application on-line. You will be contacted directly regarding the status of your application. The selection process, including correspondence with selection panels during this selection procedure will be carried out in English (9).

If you have a disability that prevents you from registering online, you may submit your application (CV and motivation letter) on paper by registered mail
   (10)
  , postmarked no later than the closing date for registration. All subsequent communication between you and the European Commission will be by post. In this case, you must enclose with your CV and motivation letter, a certificate attesting your disability, issued by a recognised body. You should also set out on a separate sheet of paper any special arrangements you think are needed to make it easier for you to take part in the selection process.

If you require additional information or if you encounter technical problems, please send an e-mail to HR-A2-MANAGEMENT-ONLINE@ec.europa.eu

Closing date

The closing date for registration is 5 November 2014. On-line registration will not be possible after 12.00 noon Brussels time.

Protection of personal data

The European Commission (during the preparatory phase) and later the ECDC will ensure that candidates' personal data are processed as required by Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (11).
