The Transparency International Secretariat is currently seeking a Research Coordinator to conduct and coordinate research to support TI’s strategic priority of combatting corrupt money flows. The Research Coordinator will more specifically contribute to a project focused on advancing this agenda in the European Union’s (EU) Southern Neighbourhood (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Israel).
The “Transparency Now: Strengthening Anti-Corruption Efforts in the EU Southern Neighbourhood” project is funded by the European Commission and implemented jointly with the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI). It aims at strengthening the prevention, reporting, investigation and prosecution of acts of cross-border corruption, facilitating the seizure and confiscation of assets and supporting the establishment of effective asset recovery mechanisms in the EU Southern Neighbourhood countries.
As part of this agenda, the Research Coordinator will be responsible for compiling a report on preventing and prosecuting cross-border corruption and improving the seizure and confiscation of assets linked to corruption with the view to providing recommendations for policy change in the EU Southern Neighbourhood.
They will also provide expert technical advice to policymakers in drafting of policies aimed at preventing acts of corruption such as policies to incentivise ethical conduct and the reporting of corruption, policies to strengthen administrative sanctions against those involved in unethical conduct, policies on strengthening financial disclosure systems, as well as the sanctioning mechanisms.
The role requires a highly motivated researcher with expertise in anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and illicit financial flows to
(1) conduct and coordinate research activities on cross-border corruption, asset recovery and illicit financial flows,
(2) provide technical advice and
(3) support the development of policy recommendations and the dissemination of findings in relevant fora to meet the objectives of the project.
The Research and Policy Coordinator will also support the establishment of dialogue spaces within the TI Movement and with relevant partners to exchange knowledge, solutions and good practices related to anti-corruption, illicit financial flows, asset recovery and their connection with inequality reduction in the target region.
The position is currently estimated to start in June 2024 for 18 months.
IMPORTANT: This project proposal has been invited for grant preparation, so is in pre-approval stage with the donor. The confirmed funding and actual start date for this role is therefore still subject to final, formal contracting.
