Brussels, Belgique Center for Civilians in Conflict Temps plein

**About CIVIC**

Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international non-governmental organization with offices around the world working to improve protection for civilians caught in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and to work with armed actors to strengthen their resolve and capacity to prevent and respond to civilian harm. We are advocates who believe that no civilian caught in conflict should be ignored and advisors who provide practical solutions to preventing and responding to civilian harm. Learn more at civiliansinconflict.org.

**About the Position**

The **UN Program Researcher **will be responsible for leading research, analysis, writing, and advocacy to advance CIVIC’s United Nations Program and organizational strategic objectives. Research will aim to identify gaps, best practices, and lessons learned in UN support of the protection of civilians, including through UN peace operations, non-mission UN presences, humanitarian coordination, and the promotion and protection of human rights.

Potential areas of research include: UN and African Union (AU) peacekeeping operations’ implementation of their protection mandates; new challenges facing peace operations (i.e. deployment of private military and security companies in peacekeeping contexts); misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and hate speech (MDMH); UN transitions; the future of peace operations; and UN system-wide integration efforts to advocate for protection and security in conflict-affected areas. Research may also focus on UN peacekeeping operations’ efforts to protect civilians from other armed actors and to reduce harm that may result from a peacekeeping operation’s presence, activities, and operations. A particular expertise on child protection; the nexus between protection, migration, and climate change; and/or gender and protection will be considered an asset.

Based on research, the Researcher will support advocacy with regional, national, and international stakeholders to address gaps and institutionalize best practices. The Researcher will also provide technical assistance to peace operations and other stakeholders to support their development and implementation of protection of civilians policies, practices, and tools. Geographic areas of focus may include Mali (and the Sahel), South Sudan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (and the African Great Lakes region), and other regions/countries in which UN peace operations and regional offices exist (including Yemen and Somalia).

**Key Functions**
- Per CIVIC's United Nations Program and organizational strategic objectives, conduct desk and field research and draft relevant recommendations to inform policy and practice;
