Selection process
Dutch Young Expert
The first trajectory of the selection process starts when you submit your CV (max. 2 pages) and motivation letter (1 page)*. At least two times a year, you can apply for positions, which are posted on the YEP website. It is then also possible to submit an open application; the initial procedure is the same for both.
* The motivation letter should explain your motivation for the position, as well as your motivation for joining YEP. The project positions will include a link to the application form.
Dutch Young Experts: It is also possible to be suggested for a project as a preferred candidate. In this case, you first pass the selection process of the Dutch organisation, after which you will be assessed by the YEP Bureau.
