Research Associate - South Asia / Southeast Asia, United
States Institute of Peace

The United States Institute of Peace is an independent
non-partisan institution established by Congress to increase
the nation's peace building capacity. Specifically, we work
to: prevent violent conflicts before they occur, mediate &
resolve them when they occur, promote post-conflict stability
after the fighting ends, and increase peace building capacity,
tools, and intellectual capital worldwide. We seek a Research
Associate (Program Officer) with a specialization in South
Asia or Southeast Asia. The incumbent will conceive, design
and implement projects relating to the prevention, management,
and resolution of conflict in South or Southeast Asia (e.g.
India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,
Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines). The work will
entail research and writing for publication, organizing
policy-oriented workshops and conferences, involvement in
operational and/or field-based conflict prevention projects,
and representing the Institute at pertinent meetings. Subject
areas may range from specific conflicts to broader issues such
as regional capacity building for conflict prevention and
peacekeeping, lessons learned in mediation, the role of
non-state actors in peace processes, economic factors in civil
conflict, and the challenge of post-conflict reconstruction
including demobilization, disarmament, and reintegration.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens. The successful candidate
will have either a PhD with some post-doctoral relevant
experience or an MA with at least three years of relevant
experience in international relations, political science,
political psychology, political sociology, education, or other
relevant academic background, or equivalent professional
experience in government or the non-governmental sector; (2)
demonstrated expertise relating to South Asia or Southeast
Asia; (3) excellent writing and oral communications skills;
(4) ability to work independently and yet collegially with
staff and external organizations and individuals. Additional
qualifications desired include: (a) specific experience and
study of the issues in South or Southeast Asia, and (b) skill
in a foreign language germane to the area and (c) experience
working on the prevention of violent conflict. Candidates
should also demonstrate strong computer and budget planning
skills.
