PRIO conducts research for a more peaceful world, and is committed to using the best of what technology has to offer to achieve that purpose. Having been at the forefront of data-driven social science research since its foundation in 1959, PRIO seeks to strengthen its data science competence by inviting applications for a Senior Developer. The successful candidate will join the team developing VIEWS – the Violence & Impacts Early Warning System that seeks to develop an early-warning system for the humanitarian impacts of armed conflict.
We offer challenging programming tasks and substantial learning opportunities within a positive, dynamic, and international research environment. VIEWS is a collaboration between the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and the Department of Peace and Conflict Research (DPCR) at Uppsala University, under the direction of Professor Håvard Hegre. With funding from the European Research Council, VIEWS has developed an armed conflict warning system. This system is currently being expanded to also forecast the impacts of armed conflict. To facilitate development of the system as well as monthly updates, VIEWS has developed an extensive codebase .
The current team involves one dedicated programmer, several researchers, PhD students, and research assistants with excellent data science skills, as well as scholars specializing in the humanitarian side of armed conflict. In addition to writing for the scientific community, we collaborate extensively with governments and IGOs that seek to reduce the intensity and impact of armed conflict globally
