CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

(2016/C 012 A/01)

The post of Director of Interpreting (Grade AD 14 or AD 15) at the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg will soon fall vacant. This post will be filled in accordance with Article 29(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.

The task of the Interpretation Directorate of the Court of Justice of the European Union (1) is to assist in the judicial activities of the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal by providing a very high quality interpreting service at hearings and at other meetings organised by the institution.

The Interpretation Directorate has a growing workload to contend with and may have to face changes in its working methods, whilst controlling spending in relation to interpreting. At the same time, the very high quality of the interpreting service remains essential for the proper functioning of a multilingual institution and the quality of European justice.

Working under the direct authority of the Registrar, the Director will be required to manage and motivate a department composed of approximately 80 officials, including 75 conference interpreters, supplemented as necessary by accredited conference interpreting staff (a.c.i.), and will be required to operate in an interinstitutional context, whilst preserving the specific nature of the institution.

Candidates, who must be nationals of one of the Member States of the European Union, will be required to have knowledge attested by a university or equivalent degree or diploma. They will need to have the ability to direct and coordinate the work of a large administrative unit. Thorough knowledge and extensive experience relating to the nature of the duties of the post are required. This professional experience must have been acquired over a period of at least 10 years. Professional experience in the area of conference interpreting would be appreciated.

Candidates must possess a thorough knowledge of one of the official languages of the European Union and a good knowledge of two other official languages. Account will also be taken of knowledge of further languages. For operational reasons, the Director will need to have a good knowledge of English, in addition to French.

SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS

Candidates for this post are invited to send their application to the Court of Justice by email only to the following address: appel_candidatures@curia.europa.eu by 12 February 2016 at 17.00. Applications must include a detailed curriculum vitae and any other relevant documents.
