Analyst.*


ACLED is a research project which records, publishes and analyzes
disaggregated data on violent political conflict. These data are publicly
available, along with analysis and information about the project, at

academic research on dynamics of conflict to informing diplomatic policy,
and humanitarian and development work in conflict-affected contexts.



The role

ACLED is recruiting a full-time Research Analyst to oversee ACLED’s weekly
analysis production. The candidate must have the right to work in the
United States of America, although the work is fully remote. The start date
for the position is August 1.



The Research Analyst will be responsible for the following tasks:

   -  Provide research assistance to Research Director, Executive Director,

   analysis (including data cleaning, prepping for analysis, etc.), conducting
   literature reviews/desk research, etc.
   -  Contribute to the writing and editing of ACLED analysis outputs
   around conflict trend and thematic reports, including work on creating
   engaging data visualizations using Tableau, through working closely with
   other team members including relevant Research Managers, (Senior)

   -  Support ways for ACLED staff to conduct better analysis. This
   includes holding internal analysis trainings on software and best
   practices, creating guides/videos etc.
   -  Support analysis by ACLED users and partners, as requested.  This can

   media requests. This includes responding to requests for quick-turnaround
   data pulls, such as for media users, as well as more in-depth support, such
   as providing data analysis and visualization training for local or
   strategic partners.
