The York Law School and the Centre for Applied Human Rights (CAHR) at the University of York are looking for a Research Fellow with exceptional quantitative research skills to work on the Beyond Compliance Consortium Research Programme on Building Evidence for Promoting Restraint by Armed Actors.
Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the Beyond Compliance Consortium (BCC) Research Programme is a three-years applied research and knowledge exchange initiative that will contribute to the effective prevention and reduction of humanitarian need and civilian harm and facilitate a broader protective environment in armed conflict.

The BCC Research Fellow will conceive and empirically implement a historical database on violations of international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) by armed actors and civilian harm and humanitarian need.
