Betreff: UN Competitive Examinations for Young Statisticians



Dear colleagues, 

You may wish to circulate this message to young colleagues in your offices who may be eligible for the UN Competitive Examinations for Young Statisticians. The aim of the exam is to recruit new UN staff members for a professional career as international civil servants. The applicants need to hold at least a first level university degree, be 32 years old or younger by the end of this year, speak either English or French fluently, and be a national of selected countries that are un- or underrepresented among the UN staff (see list below). 

Each year the eligible countries and specialities change, so this may be a rare opportunity for nationals of your country to take an exam in statistics. We have several colleagues working in the UNECE Statistical Division who have been recruited through this exam (including myself). The exam covers statistical theory and different areas of statistics. It is quite difficult and requires good preparation. 

More information is available at http://careers.un.org/lbw/home.aspx?viewtype=NCE. 

The deadline for applications for the 2011 Competitive Examinations is 10 September 2011. The persons interested should apply through the UN Office for Human Resources Management website given above. 

Wishing good luck for the applicants with the exam, 
Kind regards, 
Tiina
