1. BACKGROUND
The European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) has been established under the European Border and
Coast Guard Regulation4. The agency was created on the foundations of the European Agency for the
Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European
Union (established under Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004), which has been coordinating operational
activities at the EU external border since 2005.

Frontex is located in Warsaw, Poland, and is in the process of significantly increasing the size of its staff to
2,500 to meet its expanding tasks.

The new European Border and Coast Guard Regulation provides for the establishment of a European Border
and Coast Guard Standing Corps, which will consist of up to 10,000 operational staff by 2027, and will be
deployed along the external land, sea and air borders of the European Union and the Schengen Area.

With the establishment of the Standing Corps - the first European law enforcement uniformed corps -
Frontex offers a unique, pioneering opportunity to form part of the EU’s operational arm for European
integrated border management. The establishment and operations of the Standing Corps gives raise to
various novel legal challenges and risks. The selected candidate will have a chance to significantly
contribute to the application of the EU law in this area by developing creative legal solutions in cooperation
with internal and external partners.

The Agency’s key tasks include:

1 Type of post: Administrator.

2 For existing EU temporary staff 2(f) applicants for whom Article 55 the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European
Union (CEOS) is applicable.
3 Date of publication: 03 April 2023.
