  38. Employment with WHO • Professional Staff • Applicants are normally required to have a university degree as well as a relevant postgraduate specialization, experience at national and/or international level in the required field of public health and development issues. • Generally, we seek applications from candidates in the following fields: • Health related : medical officers; epidemiologists; public health specialists; related paramedical fields; environmental health specialists; health scientists; statisticians; health economists; policy analysts. • Non health-related: finance; human resources; informatics; legal; general administration. • Often, the professional technical staff act as advisers in public health to Member states. Candidates should therefore normally have substantial training and experience in this field before they can be considered for an assignment. Because of WHO's particular needs and the keen competition, we are able to offer appointments only to very few applicants. Applications are carefully considered against current and projected vacancies. Website adress for employment with WHO http://www.who.int/employment/en/ Presentation at UoPH
