Special Notice
This is a project-funded position of an initial duration of three (3) months,
starting as soon as possible. The extension of the appointment is subject to the
satisfactory performance and availability of post and funds as well as
continuing need of the service. Candidates should have no expectation of any
fixed-term appointment possibility after the end of this temporary assignment.
If the selected candidate is an internal staff member of the UN Secretariat, the
selection will be recorded as a temporary assignment. Subsequent to the initial
temporary appointment, new and successive temporary appointments may be granted
for service in the same office or in a different office any number of times, for
any duration, provided that the length of service does not exceed the period of
364 calendar days. Upon separation from service, including, but not limited to,
expiration or termination of, or resignation from, a fixed-term, continuing or
permanent appointment, a former staff member will be ineligible for
re-employment on the basis of a temporary appointment for a period of 31 days
following the separation. In the case of separation from service on retirement,
a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment for a period of three
months following the separation. This equally applies, mutatis mutandis, with
respect to a former or current staff member who has held or holds an appointment
in another entity applying the United Nations Staff Regulations and Rules and
who applies for a temporary position with the Secretariat. A current staff
member who holds a fixed-term, permanent or continuing appointment may apply for
temporary positions no more than one level above his or her current grade.
However, a current staff member who holds an appointment at the G-6 or G-7 level
may also apply to temporary positions in the Professional category up to and
including the P-3 level, subject to meeting all eligibility and other
requirements for the position. A staff member holding a temporary appointment
shall be regarded as an external candidate when applying for other positions and
may apply for other temporary positions at any level, subject to section 5.7
below and staff rule 4.16 (b) (ii). Therefore, a staff member holding a
temporary appointment in the General Service or related categories may only
apply to positions within those categories. For full information on eligibility
requirements, please refer to section 5 of ST/AI/2010/4Rev.1 on Temporary
Appointments. In its resolution 66/234, the General Assembly further “stressed
that the Secretary-General should not recur to the practice of temporarily
filling posts in the Professional and higher categories with General Service
staff members who have not passed the General Service to Professional category
examination other than on an exceptional basis, and requests the
Secretary-General to ensure that temporary occupation of such posts by the
General Service staff shall not exceed a period of one year, effective 1 January
2013…” Consequently, eligible candidates in the General Service or related
categories for temporary job openings in the Professional category that have not
passed the competitive examination may be selected only on an exceptional basis
endorsed by the Office of Human Resources Management where no other suitable
candidate could be identified. While this temporary assignment may provide the
successful applicant with an opportunity to gain new work experience, the
selection for this position is for a limited period and has no bearing on the
future incumbency of the post. An external candidate selected for this position
is bound by the prevailing condition of the staff selection system under
ST/AI/2010/3, as amended, and ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1. A staff member holding a
temporary appointment who is recruited in the Professional and above categories
on a temporary appointment and placed on a position authorized for one year or
longer may not apply for or be reappointed to his/her current position within
six months of the end of his/her current service. This provision does not apply
to staff members holding temporary appointments and placed on positions
authorized for one year or more in duty stations authorized for peacekeeping
operations or special political missions. The expression “Internal candidates”
shall mean staff members who have been recruited after a competitive examination
under staff rule 4.16 or after the advice of a central review body under staff
rule 4.15. For more details on the administration of temporary appointments
please refer to ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1. For information on special post allowance,
please refer to ST/AI/1999/17. The Staff Regulations, Staff Rules and
administrative issuances governing staff appointments can be viewed at:
http://www.un.org/hr_handbook/English. Please note that candidates will be
required to meet the requirements of Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter as
well as the requirements of the position. The United Nations is committed to the
highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity for all its human
resources, including but not limited to respect for international human rights
and humanitarian law. Candidates may be subject to screening against these
standards, including but not limited to whether they have committed, or are
alleged to have committed criminal offences and/or violations of international
human rights law and international humanitarian law.
United Nations Considerations
According to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the
paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of
securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity.
Candidates will not be considered for employment with the United Nations if they
have committed violations of international human rights law, violations of
international humanitarian law, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual
harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they have been
involved in the commission of any of these acts. The term “sexual exploitation”
means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential
power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting
monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. The
term “sexual abuse” means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a
sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. The
term “sexual harassment” means any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that
might reasonably be expected or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation,
when such conduct interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or
creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when the
gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the perpetrator’s working
relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes other than minor traffic
offences may not be considered for employment. Due regard will be paid to the
importance of recruiting the staff on as wide a geographical basis as possible.
The United Nations places no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to
participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal
and subsidiary organs. The United Nations Secretariat is a non-smoking
environment. Reasonable accommodation may be provided to applicants with
disabilities upon request, to support their participation in the recruitment
process. By accepting a letter of appointment, staff members are subject to the
authority of the Secretary-General, who may assign them to any of the activities
or offices of the United Nations in accordance with staff regulation 1.2 (c).
Further, staff members in the Professional and higher category up to and
including the D-2 level and the Field Service category are normally required to
move periodically to discharge functions in different duty stations under
conditions established in ST/AI/2023/3 on Mobility, as may be amended or
revised. This condition of service applies to all position specific job openings
and does not apply to temporary positions. Applicants are urged to carefully
follow all instructions available in the online recruitment platform, inspira,
and to refer to the Applicant Guide by clicking on “Manuals” in the “Help” tile
of the inspira account-holder homepage. The evaluation of applicants will be
conducted on the basis of the information submitted in the application according
to the evaluation criteria of the job opening and the applicable internal
legislations of the United Nations including the Charter of the United Nations,
resolutions of the General Assembly, the Staff Regulations and Rules,
administrative issuances and guidelines. Applicants must provide complete and
accurate information pertaining to their personal profile and qualifications
according to the instructions provided in inspira to be considered for the
current job opening. No amendment, addition, deletion, revision or modification
shall be made to applications that have been submitted. Candidates under serious
consideration for selection will be subject to reference checks to verify the
information provided in the application. Job openings advertised on the Careers
Portal will be removed at 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the deadline date.
No Fee
THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE AT ANY STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
(APPLICATION, INTERVIEW MEETING, PROCESSING, OR TRAINING). THE UNITED NATIONS
DOES NOT CONCERN ITSELF WITH INFORMATION ON APPLICANTS’ BANK ACCOUNTS.
