The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization promotes the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (which is not yet in force) and the build-up of the verification regime so that it is operational when the Treaty enters into force.

The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) is supported by a Provisional Technical Secretariat (PTS) of approximately 300 staff members from over 90 countries who work at CTBTO Headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Our staff members are highly-skilled people who come from diverse backgrounds and are dedicated to our mission of ending nuclear tests.

Many of the jobs at the PTS require talented people with crucial scientific and technical skills. For example, we are looking for people to join us as seismologists as well as infrasound, radionuclide, and hydroacoustic experts, engineers, data analysts, software developers as well as an array of technicians.

Other PTS staff work in a variety of non-technical fields to ensure that the activities of the Organization continue to run smoothly. These areas include administration, finance, procurement, human resources, information systems and technology, public information, legal affairs, external relations, and conference management.

The CTBTO seeks candidates who have experience in multi-cultural environments where there is a strong respect for diversity.

In terms of language skills, CTBTO staff are typically multi-lingual. The further promotion of multilingualism within the PTS is important in terms of supporting multilateralism. To that end, staff members are encouraged to develop, improve, and certify their multilingual skills.  While the daily business of CTBTO is carried out in English, knowledge of other CTBTO official languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish) is considered an asset.
