About the Organization 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 thePrinceton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), co-hosted by theEmpirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC). For more information, please visit our website:https://bridgingdivides.princeton.edu/. Position OverviewA 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 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.
