UNITAR Consultant Jobs 2026: Online Learning and Education Developer and Facilitator

Overview

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research offers a consultant position focused on online learning and education development and facilitation. The role involves creating and delivering high-quality online educational programmes in collaboration with higher education institutions and partner organisations. This opportunity functions as a consultant roster rather than a conventional entry-level job, meaning inclusion on the roster does not guarantee an immediate assignment.

Who can apply

Applicants must hold at least a master’s degree and possess a minimum of three years of experience in academia. Candidates need strong experience in developing, implementing, and facilitating online courses at the master’s programme level, alongside experience using Moodle and other learning management systems. Relevant subject expertise is required in at least one specific area, such as peace and security, humanitarian action, climate security, global sustainability, or electoral policy. Fluency in English is required, while knowledge of additional United Nations languages serves as an advantage.

Requirements

Candidates must prepare an updated curriculum vitae that highlights postgraduate teaching experience, online course development projects, familiarity with digital assessment tools, and experience with learning management systems such as Moodle. Applicants are also expected to demonstrate relevant subject knowledge and course development experience, and prepare any supporting documents requested during the recruitment process.

How to apply

Interested candidates must consult the official vacancy announcement and follow the stated application instructions to submit their application through the designated recruitment channel. Applicants should ensure that all submitted information is accurate and clearly demonstrates their suitability for the consultancy.
