Open Vacancies
Junior Fellow and Research Assistants
The Humanitarian Intervention Centre is seeking to recruit Junior Fellows and Research Assistants in a number of its research areas to support its growth and development. We are looking for motivated, hardworking and enthusiastic individuals with the drive to work independently in an exciting environment. In return, you will work closely with and receive feedback from our senior staff and benefit from our extensive national and international contacts.
We are particularly interested to hear from individuals with knowledge and research experience in the following areas:
- International law
- Human rights
- Russia and the Eurasia region (including politics, security, conflict and foreign policy issues)
- The Asia-Pacific region (including politics, security, conflict and foreign policy issues)
- South and Central America (including politics, security, conflict and foreign policy issues)
- Security and defence policy (thematic and not regional specific)
- The Middle East region (Hebrew speaker preferable)
We are however also interested to receive applications from candidates with knowledge and experience outside of these specific areas but which are in line with the organisation’s research interests.
Junior Fellows and Research Assistants should have an excellent academic record, be able to demonstrate a strong knowledge of, and commitment to, their subject area, have experience of conducting independent research and be capable of producing high quality written material. The ability to self-motivate, be flexible, work with discipline and within a team are also essential qualities for these roles.
Junior Fellows will be given the opportunity to pursue their own research interests but will also be required to contribute to larger projects. Research Assistants will be expected to support the work of the Junior and Senior Fellows by carrying out specific research tasks as requested and contributing to research projects. Research Assistants will however also have the opportunity to pursue their own research interests and will be encouraged and supported to do so.
Sympathy with our foreign policy principles is expected
