We are Hiring! Think Tank EUROPA is hiring an analyst to help us cover EU energy policy and the green transition

The EU’s role in energy policy, the green transition, and European security has never been more important. Geopolitical turbulence is challenging the European Union and its ability to defend its interests. How can Europe retool to become a relevant player in a world of great power rivalry, secure the green transition while addressing de-risking concerns, and accelerate the roll-our of clean energy to support sustainable growth and security?


In the second half of 2025, Denmark will take over the EU Presidency. In this context, Think Tank EUROPA is looking for a proactive EU generalist with a strong knowledge of EU institutions, processes, and politics, and a specific interest in EU energy policy and the green transition – is that you?

Your Role at Think Tank EUROPA

You will be given a high degree of freedom and responsibility to shape your work on a day-to-day basis.

Knowledge of and interest in EU policymaking, as well as a robust understanding of the EU’s political and institutional dynamics is essential.
