  • Relevant work experience in data collection, qualitative research, and human rights monitoring.
  • Minimum one year of experience in humanitarian advocacy in a context similar to MSF's.
  • Excellent writing skills, research, and analytical skills.
  • Experience in managing staff in a multicultural team.
  • Excellent command of English, French (B2), or another language (Arabic, Spanish).

Assets

  • Previous experience with international NGOs, UN agencies, human rights organizations, or protection.
