What is the difference between “Seconded” and “Contracted” (Fixed Term) positions with the OSCE?
The OSCE hires and pays directly for “Contracted” positions. OSCE field positions are generally filled through secondments, which mean staff are nominated by participating OSCE States such as Canada, who are responsible for the salaries. Secondments are usually for a period of six months, with a possibility of extension. INDIVIDUALS CANNOT APPLY DIRECTLY FOR SECONDED POSITIONS.
