The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) söker en operativ och driven CFO som vill stärka den ekonomiska utvecklingen i vår internationella, biståndsfinansierade organisation.
Att arbeta som CFO hos RWI
Som CFO har du det övergripande ansvaret att arbeta operativt med redovisning, budget, prognoser och rapportering samtidigt som du stöttar organisationens utveckling och digitalisering inom ekonomistyrning och finansiella processer. Som ett exempel vill vi övergå till rullande budget och prognoser för en mer dynamisk och framåtblickande ekonomistyrning.
Vår finansiering är diversifierad med både offentliga och privata finansiärer, vilket innebär en komplex ekonomisk struktur och ställer höga krav på noggrann uppföljning, risk management och anpassad rapportering. Att hantera olika finansiärers krav och förväntningar är en central del av rollen och du ansvarar för samordningen av interna och externa revisioner.
I denna roll ansvarar du för att upprätthålla och utveckla relationer med finansiella intressenter, såsom myndigheter, banker och revisorer..
Du leder ett mindre team på plats i Lund och samarbetar med ekonomifunktioner på kontor utanför Sverige. Resor till våra internationella kontor förekommer.
Tjänsten är en visstidsanställning på ett år med möjlighet till förlängning.
Om dig
Vi söker dig som är utbildad redovisningsekonom med mycket god erfarenhet av en liknande bred roll på medelstora företag eller organisationer. Du trivs med att vara operativ och kombinera ekonomistyrning med utvecklingsarbete och innovation.
Du har gedigen kunskap inom regelefterlevnad, finansiell rapportering och revisionsprocesser, gärna med erfarenhet från internationellt samarbete. Din förståelse för finansiella rapporteringskrav är god, både inom svensk och internationell kontext.
Som ledare är du inkluderande, prestigelös och kommunikativ, med förmåga att både leda och stötta ditt team samt ge individanpassat stöd för att utveckla varje medarbetares potential. Du har erfarenhet av att arbeta med olika ekonomisystem och känner dig trygg med digitala verktyg.
Erfarenhet från internationella eller biståndsfinansierade organisationer är meriterande, men inte ett krav.
Du behärskar svenska och engelska flytande, både i tal och skrift, och kan anpassa din kommunikation till olika målgrupper och formella sammanhang.
Tvekar du eftersom du inte uppfyller alla kvalifikationer? Forskning visar att kvinnor och personer från underrepresenterade grupper ibland avstår från att söka en tjänst om de inte uppfyller varje krav – trots att de ofta är mer än kvalificerade. Vi uppmuntrar dig att söka ändå och låta oss bedöma din ansökan utifrån din potential och erfarenhet. På RWI är vi engagerade i att skapa en mångfaldig och inkluderande arbetsmiljö och ser fram emot att höra från dig.
Vårt erbjudande
RWI är en internationell organisation där du får möjlighet att arbeta i en meningsfull miljö med global påverkan. Hos oss får du:
· Flextid och möjlighet till distansarbete upp till 40 %
· Resor till våra internationella kontor för att stärka samarbetet globalt

About RWI
RWI is an independent academic institution established at Lund University in Sweden in 1984. We combine multi-disciplinary human rights research with education, capacity building, and outreach to contribute to a wider understanding of, and respect for, human rights and humanitarian law. We work with four main thematic areas: access to justice, human rights and the environment, business and human rights, and international humanitarian law, with non-discrimination and inclusion as crosscutting approaches. Since the early 1990s we have cooperated with a wide range of institutions and human rights stakeholders in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East to advance the practical application of human rights, and supported research and dialogue around human rights issues. Currently we have offices in Bangkok, Harare, Jakarta, Lund, Nairobi, Phnom Penh, and Yerevan.

RWI’s Afghanistan Programme
RWI’s Afghanistan programme is managed from the RWI headquarters in Lund, Sweden, and since 2022 it explicitly supports, together with OHCHR, the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan who is hosted by the Institute as Visiting Professor (VP).

The programme aims to contribute to better-informed strategies and initiatives to promote and protect human rights in Afghanistan, with the long-term objective of strengthening conditions for inclusive governance, peace, and respect for human rights and gender equality in the country. Concretely, we do this by supporting:


• Increased access to concrete recommendations and potential solutions, aimed to more effectively promote human rights and gender equality in Afghanistan;
• Increased scholarship and academic discourse on the human rights situation, including in relation to gender equality, in Afghanistan;
• Maintained and/or enhanced capacities of Afghan researchers to produce high quality research that contribute to monitoring, promoting and protecting human rights in Afghanistan; and
• Increased capacities of Afghan human rights defenders and civil society to work for human rights, gender equality and inclusive governance in Afghanistan, including through engagement with UN mechanisms.

For more information about our work, see https://rwi.lu.se/afghanistan-programme/

Role of the Advisor on Human Rights and Afghanistan
The advisor is expected to start as soon as the contract is signed, and no later than January 2025. The employment is for a year and can be extended.

The aim of the position is to support the VP in his tasks in the programme, as well as in his UN mandate as Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human rights in Afghanistan (UNSR), in gathering case information for reports; liaising with human rights defender organizations and stakeholders on individual cases; supporting speaking engagements and meetings; by analysing situations related to human rights in Afghanistan, including media monitoring in local languages; and through interpretation and translation as requested, including quality checks of translated reports in Dari and Pashto. 

The position functions in the framework of the RWI Afghanistan programme, supporting its goals and expected results, and is conducted in coordination with RWI team members where relevant to ensure synergies and alignment with RWI policy and overall programme aims. 

The advisor reports to the VP and UNSR with regards to tasks, and formally, e.g. with regards to goals, policy, and coordination with the RWI programme team, to the RWI Afghanistan programme director.

While selection will be based on the totality of all required criteria, the preference is that they work at the RWI premises in Lund, Sweden. For this, a work permit in Sweden or in the EU is required. If it is not feasible for the preferred candidate to be based in Lund (e.g. acquire a work permit in Sweden), the advisor can work from home in their country of residence on a consultancy basis.

The position can be full-time or part-time, as agreed with the selected candidate.

Due to the sensitivity of the role, the advisor will be requested to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement.

 

The full description of responsibilities and qualifications of the position is available here.

Your profile
Applicants should have an in-depth knowledge of the Afghanistan context with regards to human rights and gender equality. 

Demonstrated human rights analysis and documentation skills and experience is also required, as well as commitment to and proven ability and experience in advising individuals in crisis. Applicants should have proven integrity with regards both to handling confidential information, and a commitment to non-discrimination, as well as proven ability to create trusting relationships with state and CSO stakeholders. Applicants must be willing to undertake training as required.

As the advisor will support translation and interpretation, and quality check translations of official SR reports and statements, professional level language skills (written and spoken) in both Dari and Pashto is required, in addition to professional level English language skills.

The advisor is also expected to join the VP in missions and should therefore be able to travel.

While selection will be based on the totality of all required criteria, the preference is that s/he works at the RWI premises in Lund, Sweden. For this, a work permit in Sweden or in the EU is required. If it is not feasible for the preferred candidate to be based in Lund (e.g. acquire a work permit in Sweden), the advisor can work from home in her/his country of residence on a consultancy basis.

The position can be full-time or part-time, as agreed with the selected candidate.

If you, like us, are passionate about achieving human rights change and want to work in a dynamic international environment, this position may be for you.

RWI is an independent academic institution established at Lund University in Sweden in 1984. We combine multi-disciplinary human rights research with education, capacity building, and outreach to contribute to a wider understanding of, and respect for, human rights and humanitarian law. We work with four thematic areas within human rights: ‘access to justice’, ‘non-discrimination and inclusion’, ‘human rights and the environment’ and ‘business and human rights’. Since the early 1990s, we have cooperated with a wide range of institutions and organisations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, to advance the practical application of human rights around the world. Our cooperation is characterised by mutual trust, long-term commitment, and achievement of common objectives. Currently, we have offices in Harare, Jakarta, Lund, Nairobi, Phnom Penh, and Yerevan.

RWI’s Afghanistan programme is managed from Lund since 2021, and currently entails three components: The hosting of and support to the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan; the hosting of/support to Afghan Research Fellows in Lund and online; and roundtables and conferences.

Starting 2024, the programme will also include trainings for Afghan human rights defenders, among other new components, as well as an overall expansion in scope, which includes activities in Asia. 

Programme Associate

As RWI scales up its Afghanistan programme into a large, multiple-donor programme, the programme team in Lund, Sweden, will expand to be able to efficiently support research fellows and experts; implement activities in Sweden and abroad; and to manage budgets, risks, and results.

Responsibilities of the Programme Associate include a combination of administrative and financial support tasks, including e.g., travel arrangements and activity logistics needed in the programme, as well as assisting in ensuring timely follow-up of budget progress, forecasts, and reports, including comments on deviations.

While the aim of administrative tasks is to facilitate the efficient planning, implementation and follow-up of activities, the aim of the financial responsibilities in the position is to reinforce budget management and monitoring in the programme. 

The position is based in Lund, Sweden, full time and starting 1 Feb 2024. The contract is a fixed-term for one year, can be renewed and includes a probation period of up to six months.

About RWI and the Afghanistan Programme

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) has worked for nearly forty years to promote respect for human rights through research, education and capacity development. We believe that by supporting practitioners and bringing people together around human rights, on the basis of new knowledge and tools developed, connecting theory and practice, we contribute to lasting human rights change. If you, like us, are passionate about achieving human rights change and want to work in a dynamic international environment, this position may be for you.

RWI is an independent academic institution established at Lund University in Sweden in 1984. We combine multi-disciplinary human rights research with education, capacity building, and outreach to contribute to a wider understanding of, and respect for, human rights and humanitarian law. We work with four thematic areas within human rights: ‘access to justice’, ‘non-discrimination and inclusion’, ‘human rights and the environment’ and ‘business and human rights’. Since the early 1990s, we have cooperated with a wide range of institutions and organisations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, to advance the practical application of human rights around the world. Our cooperation is characterised by mutual trust, long-term commitment, and achievement of common objectives. Currently, we have offices in Harare, Jakarta, Lund, Nairobi, Phnom Penh, and Yerevan.

RWI’s Afghanistan programme is managed from Lund since 2021, and currently entails three components: The hosting of and support to the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan; the hosting of/support to Afghan Research Fellows in Lund and online; and roundtables and conferences. For more information, see https://rwi.lu.se/afghanistan-programme/

Starting 2024, the programme will also include trainings for Afghan human rights defenders, among other new components, as well as an overall expansion in scope, which includes activities in Asia. 

Programme Officer in the Afghanistan Programme

As RWI scales up its Afghanistan programme into a large, multiple-donor programme, the programme team in Lund, Sweden, will expand to be able to efficiently support research fellows and experts; implement activities in Sweden and abroad; and to manage budgets, risks, and results.

The aim of the programme officer position is to coordinate the planning, implementation and follow up of activities in the Afghanistan programme. While task may change over time within the team, responsibilities of the programme officer may include the development and implementation of trainings for Afghan human rights defenders using online and blended learning modalities, the development  and coordination of roundtables, the coordination of support to Afghan research fellows, conferences, and other forums of dissemination, including a database, and/or leading the development and implementation of other activities supporting the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur

The position is based in Lund, Sweden, full time and starting 1 Feb 2024. The contract is a fixed-term for one year, can be renewed and includes a probation period of up to six months.

Your profile

We are looking for a proactive team member, who is willing and able to independently take on tasks as well as perform as a member of a high-functioning team, and who is experienced in programme management, and from all parts of the programme cycle.

Beyond overall responsibilities and qualifications of the programme officer role at RWI, which are outlined in the job description, candidates should be willing and able to learn to use new methodologies, in particular with regards to online leaning, and have a solution focused mind-set, seeking to provide qualitative, impactful results in line with set expected outputs and outcomes.

Knowledge about, and experience from working with, the human rights situation and context in Afghanistan is considered a strong asset, as are language skills in Dari and/or Pashto and an understanding of the Special Rapporteur mandate for Afghanistan.

Permission to work in the EU/Sweden is necessary.

RWI Afghanistan Programme call for research fellowship applications

RWI’s fellowships for Afghan scholars and professionals are a central component of RWI’s Afghanistan Programme, which among other aims to support Afghan scholars and professionals in continuing to pursue a career in human rights in the post-August 2021 setting. The programme also supports the production and dissemination of quality research on human rights and gender equality issues in Afghanistan, related expert and practitioners’ dialogue, and public outreach. In this, RWI hosts and collaborates with the UN Special Rapporteur (hereafter “UNSR”) on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, who since September 2022 is a Visiting Professor at the Institute. For more details about RWI’s work on Afghanistan 2021-2023, see: https://rwi.lu.se/afghanistan-programme/ 

The purpose of the research fellowships is to enable Afghan researchers and scholars to conduct research on key current issues of human rights and gender equality related to the situation in Afghanistan, with a view to both expand and deepen the analytical knowledge base, and to inform public debate on these issues. The Fellows will directly be supporting the work of the RWI Visiting Professor and UNSR Richard Bennett in his mandate and research and publications agenda.

The fellowships may be undertaken onsite at RWI’s office in Lund, Sweden. There is also a remote option, which when possible will include visits to Lund. For both modalities, a supportive and conducive research environment will be provided, with access to RWI library resources, to diverse academic seminars and policy forums, and to a research community both among fellows, and with other scholars from RWI and Lund University (LU). All fellows will have the same academic and substantive support of an RWI mentor and of the UNSR.

RWI welcomes applications from candidates from a broad range of backgrounds of researching and working on human rights related to Afghanistan.

In terms of research areas, applicants are encouraged to review the UNSR’s reports with particular regard to the recommendations, in formulating research interests.

Apart from the qualification criteria listed below, RWI is committed to fostering diversity with regards to gender, ethnicity, and background in the selection of research fellows. Complementarity of research areas is another factor that may weigh into the final selection.

NB: The number of fellows selected is subject to confirmed funding at the time of the selection.

The Research Fellowship Programme

The purpose of the fellowships programme is to enable professionals/academics from Afghanistan to conduct focused research on human rights and gender related issues in a supportive and conducive environment.

With academic mentorship from the RWI Deputy Director of Research, and under the direction of RWI Visiting Professor, UNSR Richard Bennett, the fellows’ work and research will both aim to create quality research, and to directly support the work and research of the UNSR. The fellows will also be expected to help organize, and take part in, roundtables and seminars. These will allow them to both gain more experience, to contribute, and to more fully take advantage of the expertise and resources available at RWI, at LU, and in RWI’s wider academic and professional networks.

Based on each selected Fellow’s expertise and experiences, they will develop individual research plans in dialogue with the academic mentor and with the Visiting Professor, with a view to contribute to the UNSR’s research agenda. 

Overall, Fellows will, in support of and as agreed with, the UNSR, take part in promoting and raising awareness of human rights in Afghanistan, and to informing discussions at the level of the international community, including at the UN Human Rights Council, on how to support the Afghan people under current circumstances. They will also, through their research, contribute to the deeper analyses of patterns and obstacles to the realization of human rights in Afghanistan as well as of promising practices and enabling factors.

Qualifications and Selection Criteria

This call for applications is open to all Afghan researchers and human rights professionals who meet the following eligibility criteria:


• Afghan National;
• Advanced degree in human rights or related area;
• Extensive experience working academically and/or practically for/with human rights;
• Ability to communicate professionally in oral and written English (proficiency in English demonstrated through certificates, sample texts and oral interviews with RWI) as well as in at least one Afghan national language;

Please review conditions and Benefits of RWI Fellowships in the Afghanistan Programme.

As noted above, diversity in terms of gender, ethnicity and other relevant factors, among applicants who fulfill the above criteria, will be pursued and considered in the selection.

Applicants can expect to be notified of the selection in December 2023.

• A personal statement in support of your application (maximum 800 words) outlining your motivation for applying, and how your research interests, expertise and experience align with the aims of RWI’s Afghanistan programme and Fellowships;
• A CV (maximum 3 pages);

Subject description and research project
Individual decisions of refugees regarding where to go, how to make a living, and how to secure a future for their children are the fundamental drivers of both the effectiveness of refugee protection and secondary refugee flows. The key objective of this research project is to gain a better understanding of refugee decision-making, in particular as regards refugees in so-called first countries of asylum, many of whom continue to face difficult choices whether to stay, move on or, in some cases, return. Theoretically, the project aims to combine insights from risk management theory and vulnerability studies in order to develop a model that allows for nuanced and quantifiable predictors of protection gaps, identification of vulnerable groups and predictors for secondary movement.
Main Tasks and Responsibilities

The post-doctoral candidate will also be expected to conduct field work if travel restrictions allow, otherwise primary data gathering will be done remotely.
