Deadline for Applications: October 25th 2024 noon CET
The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS - www.feps-europe.eu) is currently looking for one Policy Analyst for a thematic field: Climate and Environment.
The successful candidate is to join the FEPS Team based in Brussels from early January 2025 onwards (cf. selection timetable below).
FEPS is an equal opportunity employer, committed to enhancing fairness and to achieving workplace diversity. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all suitably qualified candidates, irrespective of gender, disability, marital or parental status, racial, ethnic or social origin, colour, religion, belief, or sexual orientation.
The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) is the think tank of the progressive political family at EU level. Our mission is to develop innovative research, policy advice, training and debates to inspire and inform socialist and social democratic politics and policies across Europe.
FEPS operates as hub for thinking to facilitate the emergence of progressive answers to the challenges that Europe faces today.
FEPS works in close partnership with its members and partners, forging connections and boosting coherence among stakeholders from the world of politics, academia and civil society at local, regional, national, European and global levels.
Today FEPS benefits from a solid network of 75 member organisations. Among these, 40 are full members, 30 have observer status and 5 are ex-officio members. In addition to this network of organisations that are active in the promotion of progressive values, FEPS also has an extensive network of partners, including renowned universities, scholars, policymakers and activists.
FEPS’ ambition is to undertake intellectual reflection for the benefit of the progressive movement, and to promote the founding principles of the EU - freedom, equality, solidarity, democracy, respect of human rights, fundamental freedoms, human dignity, and the rule of law.
FEPS’ Policy Analysts report daily to the delegate of the Secretary General (i.e. the Director appointed to supervise the thematic field in question).
The mission of the Policy Analyst is to substantiate FEPS’ work on climate and environment with particular attention given to issues related to the EU Green Deal, Just Transition, energy transition and security, biodiversity, circular economy and sustainable development and sustainable finance.
S.he will embody FEPS’ internal expertise in the field. To do so, the Policy Analyst will steer and implement a coherent portfolio of FEPS (co-)funded projects (including its development and consolidation) aimed at impacting policies, political debates and/or public awareness related to the EU’s approach to climate and environment.
The position is to be filled out as from early January 2025 onwards.
FEPS' standard practice is to start with a 6 to 8 months-long determinate contract (CDD) before continuing in the form of an indeterminate one (CDI). This practice can be adjusted depending on the profile and seniority of the chosen candidate.
The salary - which is paid on a 13,9 months per year basis - will be discussed depending on experience and qualifications within a range. It is part of a remuneration package (including benefits such as: a complementary pension scheme, DKV hospitalization insurance, public transport compensation, a professional phone including the right to use it for private purposes and ecocheques).
The workplace will be Brussels (Belgium): applicants must be able to work and reside in Belgium.
FEPS has put in place an internal policy allowing for telework, under conditions.
As FEPS is registered in Belgium, the contract will be under Belgian law.
Applications are to be done online by Friday the 25th of October 2024 at noon CET.
Applications not respecting the completion and submission instructions will not be considered.
During the entire selection procedure, FEPS is absolutely committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background. We value diversity and lived experience, and acknowledge the underrepresentation of people from certain backgrounds. We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive working environment where all employees feel respected and supported in fulfilling their potential. The equal opportunity principle encourages all qualified candidates to apply regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, origins or disabilities.
