The primary responsibility of the Senior Researcher is the delivery of high-quality research on the links between security, development and governance in the Sahel and West Africa region.

  • Advancing the programme's work, in particular its survey methodology, in countries in and adjacent to the region;
  • Contributing to data collection, field research and analyses, using quantitative and qualitative research methods;
  • Liaising with the development and humanitarian sectors, including academics, practitioners, key policy actors and civil society organizations;
  • Collaborating with the Programme Director and other team members, as well as other SIPRI research programmes.


As in all research positions at SIPRI, the Senior Researcher is expected to contribute to a stimulating and pleasant intellectual and professional environment.

  • Experience in grant writing;
  • Experience of working in an international environment, preferably with practitioners' organizations, think tanks or research centres;
  • A research or professional background in the humanitarian and development sectors (in areas such as forced displacement and humanitarian protection);
  • A record of publications commensurate with the length of time worked in research;
  • Fluency in French, both spoken and written;
  • Fluency in English, both spoken and written;
  • Ideally, experience in analytics and visualization.
Contract period
The position of Senior Researcher is open to all applicants globally that meet the requirements listed above.

It should be noted that the position is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and the candidate is required to become a resident by the time of employment.

Starting as soon as possible, the contract period is for 2 years, with the possibility of an extension. The position is full time.

The salary package will be negotiated individually.
