This is one of the profiles in the Administrator (AD) open competitions, though in some cases Assistant (AST) exams may have an AST3 statistician policy officer or statistics-related profile announced for more technical positions. Statistics policy officers are required to have a relevant diploma, which is nevertheless not limited to studies in statistics in a strict sense but any other subject that is closely associated with the tasks of a statistician officer is also acceptable.
Decision is always made by the Selection board on the admissibility of the diploma. Statisticians can mainly expect to work for EUROSTAT, the European Union's statistics agency in Luxembourg, or various other departments of the European Commission such as the directorate for Regional affairs.
