The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) aims to appoint a new Director-General in October to assume office by January, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said on Thursday.
Romanian diplomat Cornel Feruta will head the agency until member states agree on a permanent successor to deceased Director General Yukiya Amano, the agency said last week.
The closing date for applications will be Sept. 5, the 35-nation Board of Governors decided in its meeting on Thursday.
