Oavsett var i vår organisation du arbetar, eller vilken tjänst du har, hjälper du till att skapa livsviktig förändring.


På huvudkontoret i Solna Business Park är vi ca 350 medarbetare och tillsammans arbetar vi för att stötta och utveckla myndigheten med ca 4000 medarbetare.


Arbetsbeskrivning
Lockas du av att bidra i ett samhällsviktigt uppdrag genom att utveckla kunskapsbaserad vård och behandling för barn, unga och vuxna inom den statliga tvångsvården? Har du flerårig erfarenhet av forskning inom ditt fält och vana av att samordna utvecklingsarbete i projektform? Då kan du vara den vi söker!

SiS genomgår en omfattande utveckling där flera verksamhetsområden förändras parallellt. Vi utvecklar och anpassar vårt arbete utifrån nya och förändrade behov -både i samhället och i vår egen organisation. Kunniga och engagerade medarbetare är avgörande för att klara dagens och framtidens uppdrag.

Sektionen för forskning och utvärdering har i uppdrag att finansiera extern forskning och bidra till utveckling av kunskapsbaserad vård och behandling. SiS står inför en omställning där vi vill bredda och fördjupa samarbetet med forskarsamhället för att öka omfattning och kvalitet i den verksamhetsnära forskningen. Som forskningsledare på SiS kommer du delta i arbetet med att utveckla och förvalta myndighetens strategiska arbete inom forskning och utvärdering, utforma operativa processer för planering, genomförande och uppföljning samt stöd till organisationen i dessa frågor.

Kunskapsutvecklingen inom SiS utgår från målgruppernas behov, verksamhetens erfarenheter och aktuella samhällsutmaningar. Som forskningsledare behöver du därför vara intresserad av och följa den operativa verksamheten såväl som aktuell forskning på området. Du ansvarar för beredning och uppföljning av SiS externa och interna forskningsverksamhet samt för att sprida resultaten i och utanför myndigheten. Som forskningsledare deltar du även i genomförandet av interna forskningsprojekt som stödjer SiS kunskapsutveckling.

Arbetet som forskningsledare inom SiS är dynamiskt och du behöver vara analytisk, noggrann och van vid självständigt arbete där du skapar din egen struktur. Vidare ser vi att du har en god samarbetsförmåga och en mycket god kommunikativ förmåga. Vi ser också att du har en god pedagogisk förmåga och god förankring i forskarsamhället. De viktigaste förutsättningarna för att axla och trivas i rollen som forskningsledare är dock att du vill göra skillnad för målgruppen och att du har vilja, förmåga till samarbete, ödmjukhet och nyfikenhet.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) is seeking a talented Researcher in the study area of Climate Change and Risk (CCR). The Researcher will produce high-quality research on climate-related security risks and support multilateral organizations’ responses to these risks. The Researcher should have a demonstrated knowledge of issues relating to climate-related security risks and preferably sound knowledge of the multilateral system, such as the United Nations and the European Union.

Context
SIPRI is an independent international institute whose core mission is to undertake research and activities on security, conflict and peace. Established in 1966, SIPRI provides data, analysis and recommendations, based on open sources, to policymakers, researchers, media and the interested public. SIPRI provides excellent opportunities for scientific and personal development and is an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all over the world.

In recent years, SIPRI has broadened its focus to a wider understanding of security, exploring the linkages between peace, security and development. In 2016 SIPRI established its CCR Programme. The CCR Programme—which is situated in the Peace and Development study area—pursues research to identify and assess climate-related security risks, and policy actors’ responses to those risks. The overarching goal of the CCR Programme is to identify and understand sources of insecurity linked to a changing climate, prevent and resolve conflicts, and contribute to sustaining peace.

The Researcher position
The primary responsibilities of the Researcher are: (a) to deliver high-quality research on climate-related security risk; and (b) to support the work of the Expert Working Group on Climate-related Security Risks (EWG). We expect an equal proportion of time will be spent between these two responsibilities.

The first major responsibility is dependent on the profile of the Researcher. For example, the Researcher may be oriented towards questions concerning where, when, why and for whom climate-related security risks arise. Alternatively the Researcher may be interested in specific sub-areas of climate change and risk research (e.g. peace and conflict, migration, development and disaster risk reduction) or research on how organizations are able to efficiently respond to those risks.

The second major responsibility is to support the work of the EWG Secretariat. This includes commissioning and guiding research, collaborating with SIPRI’s partners on improving climate risk assessment and risk management strategies, and disseminating high-quality policy relevant knowledge, primarily targeting multilateral organizations. The EWG Secretariat consists of a Director, who guides the political outreach work; a Research Assistant, who supports daily administrative work; and senior advisors, including the SIPRI Director and the Director of SIPRI’s CCR Programme.

Tasks and responsibilities
The Researcher is responsible for:
• Designing, conducting, and writing high-quality research;
• Supporting the work of the EWG Secretariat;
• Communicating research findings through journal articles, research reports, policy briefs and other publications;
• Preparing research proposals and contributing to other proposals prepared within the Peace and Development study area;
• Collaborating on issues related to climate change and risk with other SIPRI Researchers and external Researchers when relevant;
• Mentoring junior staff, including promoting dissemination of their research; and
• Taking part in the collective life of the Institute.

Requirements
The successful candidate will have the following experience and skills:
• A university degree or degrees, in disciplines and topics relevant to this post, at Master or Doctoral level.
• At least 2–3 years of experience as a Researcher initiating and carrying out research projects;
• Strong knowledge of issues relating to climate-related security risks, either more broadly or in-depth in a specific sub-area (e.g. peace and conflict, development, migration, disaster risk reduction or organizational responses);
• Demonstrated knowledge of the multilateral peacebuilindg architecture, preferably the United Nations and/or the European Union;
• Proven ability to work and deliver in small teams; and
• Mastery in both written and spoken English, other languages are highly desirable.

The following qualifications are of advantage:
• Experience in working in multilateral organizations; and
• Sound knowledge on the methodology of integrated climate risk assessments.

Contract period
Starting 1 September 2019, the contract period will initially last two years, with the possibility of extension. The post is full-time. The post requires residence in Stockholm, Sweden. The salary package will be negotiated individually.

How to apply
Interested candidates should submit:
• A letter of intent specifying why you are applying for this position (1 page);
• A CV including your degrees, work experience, publications, language skills and contact details for two referees;
• Copies of diplomas for university degree(s); and
• Two writing samples (in English and at least one single authored sample).

Applications should be emailed to: [email protected]. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

The closing date for applications is 22 April 2019. Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Interviews are expected to be held in May.
