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.
Monitoring and analysing the dynamics of international arms transfers and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has always been at the core of SIPRIs research agenda. SIPRI also conducts policy-relevant research and capacity-building activities to strengthen and develop international, regional and national standards for controlling international transfers of arms and dual-use items. Recent projects have provided input to the negotiations on the Arms Trade Treaty, reviewed measures for strengthening transfer controls for dual-use items and conventional weapons, and provided expertise to a range of governments in enhancing strategic trade controls.
The (Senior) Researcher will:
(a) Conduct research on key issues and challenges related to dual-use and arms trade control and contribute to an innovative and policy-relevant research agenda;
(b) Participate in capacity-building activities in the area of dual-use and arms trade control;

The successful candidate must have the ability to work independently and as part of a team in an international environment.
Additional prerequisites include:
(a) a graduate degree in political science, international relations, law, security studies or another relevant discipline;
