ECMI conducts interdisciplinary research and practice-oriented projects in the field of minorities in Europe and offers advisory services on various dimensions of minority-majority relations. Minorities according to the ECMI statutes are national minorities and other traditional (autochthonous) ethnic groups. ECMI operates regional offices in Georgia, Kosovo, and Ukraine. The working language of the Centre is English.

The Director is, in co-operation with the Executive Board, responsible for the management of the Centre in terms of activities, personnel, and finances.

Applications from all pertinent disciplines will be considered, although awareness of European legal standards in this area would be an advantage, as well as experience in the acquisition and implementation of externally funded projects. The candidate should also possess proven management and inter-personal skills at senior level. Knowledge of German and/or Danish is an asset, yet not required.
