Student at the Green Political Center (GPC) in the Ministry of Finance

Are you interested in working with climate, energy, environment and agricultural policy? Are you analytically sharp, and would you like to work closely with the political agenda with a focus on supporting sound economic policy in the green area? Then a job as a student in the Green Political Center (GPC) in the Ministry of Finance could be for you.

About the position The Green Political Center (GPC) in the Ministry of Finance is seeking a student who, among other things, will contribute to the office's work with budget and appropriations tasks under the Environment Ministry (§ 23), the Ministry for Nature and Animal Welfare (§ 27) and the Climate, Energy and Utilities Ministry (§ 29) area. In addition you will contribute to analyses in the office's areas, and will in that context have the opportunity to put your knowledge and experience from your studies to use.

Your tasks may therefore include

• contribute to ongoing finance act and budget work
• contribute to policy analyses and decision briefs in the office's areas
• contribute to the office's knowledge base by, for example, analyzing and disseminating relevant reports, research and decision briefs on green transition from other countries
• assist with a wide range of the office's other ongoing tasks

Our working day is varied with tasks that have both short deadlines and longer processes such as preparation of the finance bill, analytical work and preparation of political proposals. It is therefore important that you thrive in a sometimes unpredictable and busy everyday life, which includes work with longer-term projects/initiatives as well as contributions to deliverables with short deadlines.

As a student in the Green Political Center you will gain knowledge of the Ministry of Finance's work, the expenditure policy decision-making process and gain insight into some of the central issues in the climate, energy, environment and agricultural area.

About you We have a tradition of, to a wide extent, involving our students in the work and giving them responsibility for their own tasks. We therefore expect that you:

• are studying a relevant social science education, e.g., political science or science/political science
• have a strong professional profile, are hardworking, thorough and proactive
• have a sharp analytical mind, good numeracy and an eye for detail
• have good written and oral communication skills
• have good collaboration skills and take independent responsibility for your tasks
• contribute to the good atmosphere in the office

About the Green Political Center In the Green Political Center we have the responsibility to support the government's work with policy development, budgeting and economic policy in the green area.

You will also become part of a strong team where we place emphasis on achieving results together in an informal tone. The Green Political Center (GPC) consists, in addition to four students, of 20 staff, two deputy heads and two office managers. You will thus become part of a strong student team that participates in most of the center's workflows.
