Context
Established in 1966, SIPRI is consistently ranked as one of the world's top think tanks. The institute is dedicated to independent research into peace, conflict and security and is known worldwide for its flagship publication, the SIPRI Yearbook, and its databases. SIPRI is based in Stockholm, and has well-established, on-the-ground partnerships and operational networks across the globe. The staff of SIPRI is international and the working language is English.
The Security and Development Programme is one of SIPRI's newest research teams, focussing on measuring peace, security and fragility in low- and middle-income countries. In addition to gender research, the Programme also conducts on-going projects on security-sector reform, trends in security and development indictors and impact evaluation in fragile states. The Programme is also responsible for organizing the annual Stockholm Forum on Security and Development.
Eligibility requirements
SIPRI seeks a dynamic individual with the potential to make an outstanding contribution to the Institute's research and capacity-building activities in the area of gender, peace and security. Applicants must have a strong research profile; a track record in working international and interdisciplinary teams; and a comprehensive understanding of both academic and policy debates in the area of gender, development and security. The successful candidate must also have the ability to work independently.

• excellent communication skills, both verbal and written;

• fluency in English (knowledge of Swedish is not required).
Additional languages, particularly French, are an advantage.
SIPRI is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture.
