About BDI:


The Bridging Divides Initiative (BDI) is a non-partisan research initiative that tracks and mitigates political violence in the United States.

BDI supports efforts to grow and build local community resilience through elections and other periods of heightened risk, laying the groundwork for longer-term to bridge the divides we face as a nation.

We do this by 1) producing action-oriented and responsive research to fill existing gaps and empower local leaders; 2) enabling cross-sector collaboration, so individuals and organizations are better prepared to mitigate risk and respond to crisis when it does arise; and 3) helping to drive the policy and community response.

Over the past four years, BDI played an essential role in supporting a wide range of actors preparing for and responding to political violence and democratic crisis.

Our data, analysis, and tools continue to help a diverse coalition of national and local decision-makers better target their interventions.

BDI is based at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), co-hosted by the Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC).


This position is a 1 year (12-month) term appointment.

Position Overview:

A critical part of BDI's strategy is a functional U.S.

"Early Warning, Early Response" effort, which relies on shared information and rapid distribution within and between key sectors of the existing response ecosystem.

BDI seeks a full-time, fully remote Early Warning Researcher.

They will be a member of the _Building and Modeling Structures for Early Warning_ project, contributing to the production of regular research products, especially via regular OSINT monitoring.

The role is envisioned as a one-year minimum engagement, with opportunities for renewal.

The Early Warning Researcher will work closely with other members of BDI's _Building and Modeling Structures for Early Warning_ project team — reporting to the Early Warning Project Manager — as well as with BDI's research team more broadly.


The outcome of your work is reliable and timely monitoring and early warning analysis products, which has proven an essential part of the U.S.

early warning infrastructure.

Regular reporting, timely issue briefs, and custom memos - drawing on data and collaboration with over a dozen monitoring partners - will provide reliable, trusted, and actionable information to help the entire early warning ecosystem get ahead of and respond to risk.


Responsibilities:

  • OSINT monitoring of a number of U.S. states via traditional media, social media, altmedia, and more
  • Contribute to the production of regular, targeted early warning research products, for a diverse audience, including but not limited to (1) a biweekly SitRep (Situation Report), covering trends in political violence and early warning signs of further violence across the U.S., drawing on monitoring and data analysis; (2) a monthly collection of relevant incidents across the U.S.; and (3) a bimonthly brief covering the shifting risk landscape; amongst others
  • Contribute to the production of adhoc Rapid Response Memos and Briefs, as needed, so that stakeholders can take immediate action
  • Work closely with other members of BDI's research team to support a broad range of datadriven research programming.
  • Provide realtime support to BDI's research and collaboration teams to deliver custom analysis and quick, accurate answers to pressing questions and concerns from community partners — such as contribution to addressing RFIs as requested

Qualifications:

Required:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a related field
  • 12+ years of experience in research, policy, community engagement, or related role
  • Research experience focused on the U.S. political violence landscape, especially in identifying relevant early warning indicators

  • Interest in and commitment to supporting civil society efforts to address political violence in the U.S., including work with partner organizations across diverse political affiliations, geographies, and sectors
  • Ability to thrive in a fastpaced environment, including proactivity and agility in response to potential early warning indicators

Preferred:

  • Experience working on a remote team, including familiarity with relevant work tools (e.g. Slack, Zoom, Asana, etc.)
