Administrative Tribunal

Call for Candidates

ADB is seeking to fill a vacancy on its Administrative Tribunal.

Members of the tribunal are appointed by ADB's Board of Directors. Members must be nationals of ADB’s member countries, and are appointed for a term of three years, with the possibility of reappointment for two additional three-year terms. Members receive daily remuneration based on work load, plus expenses when travel is required to ADB headquarters in Manila, Philippines (normally twice a year, depending on the case load).

ADB welcomes nominations of, or applications by, leading experts who have held high judicial office or are jurisconsults of recognized competence and have demonstrated international expertise and judicial experience in the fields of employment relations, international administrative law, and labor law.

Nominations or applications can be sent in confidence on or before 2 February 2023, 11:59pm (Manila Time).
