How to Apply for ECLAC Jobs
ECLAC publishes official opportunities through its Employment page, grouped by fixed-term vacancies, temporary positions, consultancies and individual contractors, internships, YPP and UNV. The current page lists, for example, Santiago-based Economic Affairs Officer and research-assistant roles. Use the vacancy in the appropriate category to access its specific application instructions and deadline.
Official ECLAC application route ↗1Choose the right ECLAC opportunity category
Start on the official Employment page and distinguish fixed-term vacancies, temporary appointments, consultants and individual contractors, internships, Young Professionals Programme and UNV routes. These are materially different engagement types. Confirm the listed duty station, contract duration and closing date before opening the role.
2Read the vacancy’s mandate and reporting context
Open the individual ECLAC notice and study Organizational Setting, Responsibilities, education, experience, languages and competencies. An Economic Affairs Officer post, for example, may focus on development economics, trade, investment, science and technology, environmental or gender economics, rather than a general regional-development brief.
3Use the recruitment platform specified for that category
Follow the application link attached to the exact vacancy. UN Secretariat staff posts use the official UN recruitment process; a consultant, intern, YPP or UNV opportunity may have a different route. Do not send a CV to ECLAC’s public contact channels unless the live announcement explicitly requires it.
4Make the application evidence regional and technical
Describe analytical, advisory, policy-design, statistical, programme or operational experience that responds to the work area named in the announcement. Show outcomes and methods, not only an interest in Latin America and the Caribbean. Address Spanish, English or other language requirements exactly as listed.
5Submit the complete application by the closing time
Complete every mandatory field and requested document in the stated portal, then submit before the deadline. Keep the vacancy title and confirmation. ECLAC’s employment page is updated across several categories, so never reuse the date, location or requirements from a different ECLAC role.
6Prepare for the assessment used by the vacancy
Shortlisted candidates can be evaluated through assessments and interviews appropriate to the post. Prepare evidence of policy judgement, data literacy, collaboration and communication in the advertised specialty. The individual job opening is authoritative on assessment arrangements and any subsequent reference or eligibility checks.
Recruitment safety: No. ECLAC is part of the UN Secretariat, whose vacancies state that no recruitment fee is charged. Apply only through the official route in the ECLAC announcement. A request for payment, banking details or a private-channel application before a verified selection is a fraud warning and should not be treated as an ECLAC requirement.

Frequently asked questions about ECLAC careers
What is ECLAC?+
ECLAC is the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, one of the five regional commissions of the United Nations. Founded in 1948, it supports economic and social development through policy design, monitoring and evaluation, research, advisory services, training and regional cooperation. It works with 46 member States and 14 associate members.
Where are ECLAC jobs located?+
ECLAC’s headquarters is in Santiago, Chile, and its Employment page currently lists several Santiago opportunities. It also works through a regional system, so a particular vacancy may have another location or arrangement. Read the live announcement for the actual duty station; a regional mandate does not mean that every ECLAC job is remote or based in all countries.
How do I apply for ECLAC positions?+
Use ECLAC’s official Employment page, select the relevant category and open the live vacancy. Fixed-term, temporary, consultant, internship, YPP and UNV opportunities can follow different application routes. The individual notice specifies the platform, documents, deadline, eligibility and selection process, and should take priority over any third-party job repost.
Does ECLAC offer internships?+
Yes. ECLAC’s official Employment page lists internships with a minimum duration of two months and a maximum of six months. It says candidates must be in the final year of an undergraduate programme, enrolled in a graduate programme, or be a recent university graduate. Check the live internship notice for its host division and specific deadline.
What kinds of expertise does ECLAC recruit?+
Openings reflect ECLAC’s policy and cooperation mandate. Relevant fields can include economic affairs, statistics, population, trade, environmental economics, science and technology, digital development, communications, programme management, conference support and operations. The actual duties and qualifications depend on the division and job level, so use the live announcement as the selection standard.
Does ECLAC charge a recruitment fee?+
No. ECLAC is part of the UN Secretariat, whose vacancies state that no recruitment fee is charged. Apply only through the official route in the ECLAC announcement. A request for payment, banking details or a private-channel application before a verified selection is a fraud warning and should not be treated as an ECLAC requirement.
