Online fraud, cyberattacks, dark web operations, and crimes that require analyzing large volumes of data. Europol wants to strengthen its ability to tackle these threats and is looking for someone to lead one of its specialized teams.
The European police agency has opened a call to recruit a team leader to support cybercrime investigations, a position based in The Hague (Netherlands) with a gross basic salary exceeding 8,900 euros per month.
The selected person will work at the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), from where Europol supports the law enforcement authorities of member states and other partners in complex investigations.
Their mission will be to coordinate the work of a specialized team and contribute to operations against crimes committed using computer systems or technology to facilitate criminal activities.
However, the position is not for everyone. The selection process is restricted to temporary agents of grade AD8, so candidates must belong to a competent authority as defined by the Europol Regulation.
The selection requirements preferably include at least five years of experience in a cybercrime unit of an EU member state or an international police organization, as well as three years of experience in managing personnel dedicated to operational activities or criminal investigations.
Experience is also required in drafting intelligence reports and coordinating investigations related to one or more of the specialties covered in the call.
Europol will also value knowledge about threat actors, their methods of operation, and new cybercrime trends, in addition to expertise in digital investigation techniques and the European and international legal framework. A university degree or an equivalent professional qualification is required, along with at least nine years of total professional experience after obtaining the required qualification.
The position offers an initial contract of five years, renewable once, in principle, for another five-year period.
The deadline to submit the resume is until October 22.
Europol is also looking for specialists in forensic computing and decryption
The call is part of a recruitment activity that includes other technical profiles linked to digital investigation. On September 23, Europol published two vacancies in the EC3: one for a forensic computing specialist in the Forensics team of the Digital Support Unit, and another for a decryption specialist, attached to the same team. Both have a deadline of October 15.
The forensic computing specialist will be responsible for providing digital forensic services, developing tools to automate data analysis, and preparing technical reports. The call includes experience in programming with Python, processing large data sets, and automating workflows, as well as knowledge of artificial intelligence applied to forensic computing.
On the other hand, the decryption specialist will provide technical support in operations that require access to encrypted information, work with Europol’s decryption platform, and collaborate with European and international organizations. Their functions also include the development of decryption tools and methods, technical assistance to investigations, and the preparation of specialized reports.
