Beirut
Salary: $72,469
Amnesty
International is moving closer to the ground! As part of this exciting
change, we are looking for four experienced Researchers to join Amnesty
International’s new Middle East North Africa Regional Office, based in
Lebanon, in order to shape and develop our human rights research across
the region.
About the role:
As
a research-based campaigning organization, investigating and
documenting human rights issues is fundamental to our advocacy and
lobbying work. Our Beirut Regional Office requires Researchers to take
the lead in initiating human rights research and action by providing
regional and thematic expertise, excellent research skills and sound
political judgement. A campaign oriented approach to your work is
essential. You’ll be required to conduct and co-ordinate research
activities, monitor, investigate and analyse political, legal and social
developments and human rights conditions, give authoritative advice on
these areas and prepare human rights action materials.
About you:
With
experience of working on human rights issues, you’ll have first-hand
in-depth knowledge and experience of the MENA region, specifically
specialising in either Syria, Lebanon and Jordan or Iraq, and an
understanding and awareness of the cultures of the Middle East. You'll
have a background in activism, academia, law or journalism with the
ability to identify and thoroughly investigate those issues and ensure
our voice has authority. You’ll need proven research and communication
skills, impartial political judgement, coupled with strong strategic
thought. Fluency in English and Arabic, including excellent spoken,
reading and writing skills, is essential. Kurdish is desirable for the
Iraq-specific Researcher role.
About us:
- Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they're denied.
