The WPS Programme is looking for a creative and organised individual with solid written and oral communication skills, the ability to take initiative, and the ability to remain flexible while working in a fast-paced environment.  The candidate should also demonstrate a commitment to WILPF’s mission and values while maintaining WILPF’s high professional standards.

The Fellow will work closely with the WPS Programme on monitoring, research, and communications support on Women, Peace and Security issues emerging in the UN Security Council and elsewhere.  The Fellow will monitor UN meetings and debates, and will provide support for both online and offline events and communications, research, and policy analysis.

The fellowship is primarily aimed at individuals early in their careers who want an opportunity to research and write about women, peace and conflict issues while gaining professional experience with a non-governmental organisation.
