Employment with WHO

Professional Staff

Applicants are normally required to have a university degree as well as a relevant
postgraduate specialization, experience at national and/or international level in the required
field of public health and development issues.
Generally, we seek applications from candidates in the following fields:
Health related : medical officers; epidemiologists; public health specialists; related
paramedical fields; environmental health specialists; health scientists; statisticians; health
economists; policy analysts.
Non health-related: finance; human resources; informatics; legal; general administration.
Often, the professional technical staff act as advisers in public health to Member states.
Candidates should therefore normally have substantial training and experience in this field
before they can be considered for an assignment. Because of WHO's particular needs and
the keen competition, we are able to offer appointments only to very few applicants.
Applications are carefully considered against current and projected vacancies.
