Candidates are required to confirm their willingness to make a declaration of their commitment to act independently in the public interest and a declaration of any interests which might be considered prejudicial to their independence.

Appointment and conditions of employment

The Chief Competition Economist will be appointed by the European Commission according to its selection and recruitment procedures (see also: Compilation Document on Senior Officials Policy). During the selection procedure, it will be assisted by external advisers, including experts of international reputation in the field of economics.

As part of this selection process, candidates who have been called for an interview with the Commission's Consultative Committee on Appointments will have to pass, before this interview, a full day assessment centre run by external recruitment consultants.

Please note that the selection procedure will be carried out in English, French and/or German only (2).

Salaries and conditions of employment are those laid down in the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants for temporary agents occupying a function corresponding to the basic post of Director of the European Union. It is a temporary assignment for three years, and is not renewable.

Applicants should note the requirement under the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants for all new staff to complete successfully a six-month probationary period.

This appointment will be made in Brussels. The decision on the appointment is scheduled for December 2010. It is expected that the selected candidate will take up the post as soon as possible thereafter.

Equal opportunities

The European Union applies an equal opportunities policy.

Application procedure

This position can be published in parallel with a number of other senior official positions. Candidates who wish to apply for more than one position must submit a separate application for each one.

Before submitting your application, you should carefully check whether you meet all the eligibility criteria (‘Candidates must’), particularly concerning the types of diploma and professional experience required. Failure to possess any of these eligibility requirements means an automatic exclusion from the selection procedure.

If you want to apply, you must register 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.

It is your responsibility to complete your online registration in time (3). 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 online registration being terminated before you complete it, thereby obliging you to repeat the whole process. Once the deadline for the submission of registrations has passed, you will not longer be able to introduce any data. Late registrations via normal e-mail will not be accepted as a general rule.

You must have a valid e-mail address. This will be used to identify your registration as well as to inform you about the outcome of the procedure. Therefore, you will have to inform the European Commission about any change in your e-mail address.

To complete your application, you will need to upload a CV in WORD or PDF format and to fill out, online, a letter of motivation (maximum 8 000 characters). Both the CV and letter must be written in English, French or German.

Once you have finished your online registration, you will receive on screen a registration number that you must write down and remember — this will be your reference number in all matters concerning your application. When you receive this number, the registration process is finished — it is a confirmation that we have registered the data you entered. If you do not receive a number, your application has not been registered!

Please note that it is not possible to monitor the progress of your application on-line. You will be contacted directly by the recruiting DG regarding the status of your application.

If you have a disability that prevents you from registering online, you may submit your application (CV

  and

  letter of motivation) on paper by registered mail
   (4)
  , postmarked no later than the closing date for registration. All subsequent communication between the Commission and you will be by post. In this case, you must enclose with your application 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.

If you require more information and/or encounter technical problems, please send an e-mail to: HR-MANAGEMENT-ONLINE@ec.europa.eu

Closing date

The closing date for registration is 15 September 2010. On-line registration will not be possible after 12.00 noon Brussels time.
