The European Policy Centre (EPC) is a leading independent European think tank with expertise in a broad range of policy issues. EPC analysts manage projects and contribute to the EPC's thought leadership on the programme topics. Due to internal progression, expansion, and saying farewell to a colleague, we have a number of vacancies open to people passionate about EU integration and international politics.
EPC Policy Analysts are hired on a consultancy basis, with fees offered at local market rates. Policy Analysts have, on average, three years of working experience in research/analytical work. For both Policy Analyst positions, Senior Analysts with at least four years of research, analysis, and thought leadership are also welcome to apply.
Programme Assistant posts are 6-month internships. All EPC Programme Assistants are offered a CIP contract ("Convention D'Immersion Professionelle") and are expected to be based in Brussels or a location with easy access to Brussels. Contracts are renewable only once, and progression within the EPC is rare. It is also possible to be a Programme Assistant as a registered independent consultant, but not advisable unless you are already registered. These entry-level positions are targeted at recent graduates who have acquired initial work experience through internships.
The post will remain open until Wednesday 30 August, with a first analysis of applications on Wednesday 16 August. Interviews and recruitment will take place on a rolling basis. For more details about how to apply, see below.
