We are seeking to recruit an Expert with expertise in competition policy (particularly state aid).

The main working areas will be EU state aid law and EU competition law (antitrust and merger control). Activities will have to include the relationship of these domains with current challenges and developments such as the application and enforcement of State Aid rules in the current context of ReArm Europe. The position requires strong skills in conducting applied research projects and in designing and delivering training on the substantive and procedural rules of state aid control. In addition, candidates must demonstrate a proven track record in implementing research projects and producing applied research reports, particularly in relation to the enforcement practices of the European Commission and the case law of the EU courts.

The position equally requires a track record of training and teaching skills covering the full breadth of EU competition law, including the Digital Markets Acts (DMA) and regulatory aspects of economic sectors such as energy, at university level and for civil servants requiring regular updates on EU antitrust law.

We welcome applications from persons with professional experience from the European Institutions or Member State administrations, and from persons with a more academic or research background.
