Job Number:
08606)
Description
The OECD’s mission – Better Policies for Better Lives – promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. It provides a unique forum in which governments work together to share experiences on what drives economic, social and environmental change, seeking solutions to common problems. (External only)
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation committed to advancing security of energy supply, economic growth and environmental sustainability through energy policy co-operation. The IEA operates as an autonomous body within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Both the OECD and the IEA seek opportunities to work with an increasing number of non-members of growing importance to the world economy.
The IEA seeks energy analysts to contribute to analysis of long-term regional and sectoral energy trends and their consequences. The main output is the annual World Energy Outlook. This has gained a reputation as the most authoritative source for energy analysis and projections. Each year it provides a quantitative outlook for energy supply and demand in the medium term and longer-term and draws lessons for energy security, investment and the environment.
The chosen candidates will be part of a team of enthusiastic professionals reporting to the Chief Economist.
