Monitoring and analysing the dynamics of international arms transfers and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has always been at the core of SIPRI’s research agenda. SIPRI also conducts policy-relevant research and capacity-building activities to strengthen and develop international, regional and national standards for controlling international transfers of arms and dual-use items. Recent projects have provided input to the negotiations on the Arms Trade Treaty, reviewed measures for strengthening transfer controls for dual-use items and conventional weapons, and provided expertise to a range of governments in enhancing strategic trade controls.

Applicants must have demonstrated project management skills; a track record in working with governments and international organizations, as well as involvement in capacity-building and advisory activities; and a detailed understanding of national, regional and international policy debates and processes in the field of arms transfers and the broader strategic trade control context.
