The College of Europe, with the aim of completing its team of researchers working on the codification and consolidation of EC Law, is seeking young graduates with as their mother tongue:
- Maltese – Ref: CODIF 2008/06 MT
- Czech – Ref: CODIF 2008/06 CS
- Danish – Ref: CODIF 2008/06 DA
The project, mandated by the European Commission aims at bringing together various Community acts in order to improve the transparency of Community law. The originality of this task lies in its multilingual approach (each member of the team is responsible for one of the official EU languages). The researcher is not only required to analyse correctly the general substance of a given act, but also to check its correspondence with the other languages (using either English or French as the language of reference). Codification and consolidation are very meticulous matters and require a good understanding of the general concepts of EC law.
The work will have to be performed in Bruges, Belgium, in the framework of a fixed term contract of six months, from 1.07.2008 till 31.12.2008.
The ideal applicant should have:
· a university degree in European affairs,
· proficiency in French/English, in addition to her/his mother tongue (see list above),
· the ability to work both in a multicultural team and independently,
· good analytical and organisational skills, and the ability to meet strict deadlines,
· computer literacy (MS Office),
· good interpersonal skills.
