Research Manager Camps and Displacement for Syria
vor 1 Woche
**BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH**:
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.
IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of Acted, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.
**We are currently looking for a Research Manager to support our team in Syria.**
**Department**:REACH Syria
**Supervisor**:Deputy Country Coordinator
**Position**:Research Manager, Camps and Displacement Unit
**Contract duration**:12 months
**Location**: Amman, Jordan
**Starting Date**: July 2024
**Country Profile**:
After more than a decade of conflict, conditions in Syria remain volatile and marked by violence and socioeconomic deterioration. The scale, complexity, and severity of humanitarian needs in Syria extends the necessity for up to date, timely, and accurate information. Evidence-based planning and programming remains paramount to ensure that the response adequately meets the needs of the most vulnerable people and is tailored to different realities across communities and over time. REACH has been conducting assessments on the humanitarian situation in Syria since 2013 and has since grown significantly as an actor in the response. Broadly speaking, REACH Syria facilitates a humanitarian evidence base via four key research streams:
- Monitoring of the humanitarian situation in Syria, including joint market monitoring to track prices of goods as per the survival minimum expenditure basket (SMEB);
- Displacement tracking, through tracking the movement of IDPs and returnees;
- Remote sensing activities, including market functionality, flood hazard assessments, etc;
- Technical support to clusters, including thematic assessments and capacity building
**FUNCTIONS**:
REACH Syria is currently recruiting for a Research Manager (RM) to, under the supervision of and in collaboration with the REACH Deputy Country Coordinator, oversee the program and staff of REACH’s Camps and Displacement (C&D) Unit. Examples of Syria Camps and Displacement outputs are available here.
Within their Unit, the Research Manager leads the team to achieve program excellence and ensure the highest level of impact and accountability, while ensuring compliance to IMPACT’s guidelines and standards. The role will involve oversight of all REACH Syria research cycles (projects), line management of and project management support to all focal points of REACH Syria’s C&D unit, human resource management, external engagement, response coordination structure, and identification of information management gaps within the humanitarian response. As part of the country’s Senior Management Team (SMT), she/he contributes to the development and implementation of IMPACT’s country strategy, and promotes organizational vision and core values across the mission.
In their mission, the Research Manager will be hosted by Acted and will fall under the direct responsibility and management of Acted’s Country Director and his/her delegates for all Administrative, Security, Logistics and Finance issues. S/he will therefore fully abide by Acted’s Security, HR, Administration and Logistics rules and regulations, and, in coordination with Acted, will ensure IMPACT staff in his/her unit abide by them.
The position will be based in Amman, Jordan with travel to Northeast Syria (via Erbil, Iraq) and Gaziantep, Türkiye.
**RESPONSIBILITIES**:
The role of the Research Manager is to drive the strategy and workstreams of the C&D Unit at a moment in Syria where in-camp and displaced populations face heightened vulnerabilities. This position requires a profile that is both analytical and strategic, as the Research Manager’s job on a daily basis can range from coordinating with external partners (whether data actor, humanitarian cluster, or donor) to analytical oversight of research products to logistics.
The Research Manager responsibilities include:
