The International Crisis Group and the Empirical Studies of Conflict Project seek applicants for a Postdoctoral Fellowship. Working closely with Crisis Group experts and ESOC academic researchers, fellows conduct empirical research, policy analysis, and policymaker engagement to prevent, resolve or better manage deadly conflict. We are particularly interested in three thematic areas: the economic causes and consequences of conflict, the relationship between climate change and conflict, and the role of new technologies in conflict. We are open to geographic focuses on the countries/regions Crisis Group currently covers (see www.crisisgroup.org).

Candidates should be on track to complete a PhD in economics, political science, public policy or a related discipline by June 2020, or have recently completed their PhD. Preferred qualifications include a successful track record of international field research and econometric analysis in the areas of political violence, governance, or development, and demonstrated experience in policy analysis.

Applicants should apply via: http://jobs.crisisgroup.org/. Screening of applications will begin on 1 December and continue until the position is filled. All applications must be received by 1 February 2020.
