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, provide analysis, and contribute to the EPC's thought leadership on the programme's 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, analysts, 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 and graduates who have acquired initial work experience through internships. 

The posts 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.
