Government-Funded Research Institutes Hold First Open Recruitment This Year... Hiring 245 People
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] Government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology are launching their first joint recruitment this year.
The National Science and Technology Council (NST) announced on the 9th that it will conduct the first joint recruitment of 2021 for government-funded research institutes (GFRIs) under its jurisdiction in the science and technology sector. The joint recruitment was introduced last year to expand practical employment opportunities for job seekers and reduce administrative burdens on the institutes, and it is scheduled to be held three times this year.
After NST selects candidates through an NCS-based integrated written exam, each institute will conduct additional procedures such as interviews to select the final successful candidates. In the two joint recruitments held last year, 7,720 applicants competed for 196 positions, recording an intense competition ratio of about 105 to 1 for administrative positions.
Fourteen research institutes are participating in this first joint recruitment. A total of 245 positions are available, including 84 administrative roles and 161 research roles. Applications will be accepted online for 16 days from the 9th to the 24th. The integrated written exam will be held on April 10th in three locations: Seoul, Daejeon, and Busan.
NST plans to strictly adhere to management guidelines to prevent COVID-19 infections, including disinfecting exam venues, checking candidates’ temperatures, encouraging the use of hand sanitizers, ensuring safe distancing among candidates, and operating separate exam rooms for those showing COVID-19 symptoms.
