Job offer: selection procedure

Stage 1: Checking the conditions for participation

You will be admitted to the selection procedure if you meet all the conditions for participation. The selection committee will check this on the basis of the application files you have submitted. The committee will decide whether the qualifications, merits and experience you present correspond to the requirements of the function for which you apply. If so, you will be invited to the next stage.

Depending on the number of applications received, the selection committee reserves the right to limit the number of candidates going on to the next stage by determining those it considers most suitable for the function.

Stage 2: Audition

The audition will be held at the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy. If the audition cannot be held on site, auditions can be held online (via Teams). For practical details, you will receive an email from one of our staffmembers.

The selection committee will assess to what extent the qualifications, merits and experience you present in your application match the requirements of the job.

Equal opportunities and reasonable accommodation

The federal administration has an active diversity policy.

If you are a person with a disability, a learning disability or an illness? you can inform us when you apply so that we can prepare reasonable accommodation for you when you arrive for the audition.

In case of absence

If you don’t show up for the audition, you are automatically excluded from the rest of the selection procedure unless you can demonstrate, within three days, that your absence was justified by one of the following reasons:

  • illness
  • emergency concerning a member of the household (= any person living with the candidate) or family (= the candidate's spouse or the person with whom the candidate is legally cohabiting, the candidate's first- or second-degree relatives)
  • essential presence at work
  • interruption or delay of public transport by at least thirty minutes
  • force majeure.

If necessary, you may ask to be heard by the committee within ten days of the date of the above- mentioned audition. You will then be offered a new date.
