# 10 NEW EU institutions jobs with ‘no epso’ 14/11/26 - Link: https://euemployment.eu/10-new-eu-institutions-jobs-with-no-epso-14-11-26/ - Published: 2026-11-14T20:42:03+01:00 - Author: Ben Looking for **EU institutions vacancies with no [EPSO](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/epso/)** required? This week’s round-up features **10 new EU institutions jobs with no [EPSO](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/epso/)** open competitions, with application deadlines falling between **16 and 27 November 2026**. Unlike centralized [EPSO](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/epso/) selections – which rely on abstract tests and run for 1-2 years – decentralised and executive EU agencies manage their own recruitment directly. Selection procedures typically consist of one role-specific written test and a panel interview, with successful candidates appointed within **2 to 4 months** while shortlisted runners-up secure places on multi-year reserve lists. At a Glance: This Week’s 10 Vacancies * **Profiles & Grades:** 3 Contract Agents (FG IV), 1 Assistant (AST 4), and 6 [Administrators](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/administrators/) ([AD 6](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/ad-6/), [AD 7](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/ad-7/), [AD 8](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/ad-8/), and [AD 11](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/ad-11/)). * **Duty Stations:** Brussels, Dublin, Paris, Lisbon, Warsaw, Prague, Torrejón de Ardoz, and Bratislava. * **Indefinite Contract Potential:** **8 out of 10 roles** offer a realistic pathway to an indefinite contract upon second renewal (marked with ✅), unlike standard fixed-term contracts at [European Commission](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/european-commission/) headquarters. How to read the net monthly salary figures: Each card shows estimated net monthly take-home pay across 4 family scenarios (** Single local**, **Local w. 2 kids**, **Single expat**, and **Expat w. 2 kids**) adjusted for local correction coefficients. [Contract Agent](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/contract-agent/)( FG IV) rows display three figures for **Grades 13, 14, and 16** based on prior experience, while the EUSPA vacancy displays two figures corresponding to **Prague** and **Torrejón de Ardoz**. 📌 **Application Tip:** EU agency selections are usually for a particular professional profile. When completing the application form and the motivation letter, make sure you mirror those competencies that are mentioned in the vacancy announcement (of course, if you possess them). ## Contract Agents (FG III–FG IV) !!!
