Resource for Careers and Opportunities in Human Rights, Peace and Conflict
Resolution, Development and Civil Society Development
For the past three years the Alliance for Conflict Transformation has
developed and maintained some of the premier resources for professionals
seeking employment and fellowship opportunities in the field of
peacebuilding, conflict resolution, international studies, development and
human rights. ACT currently maintains Announcement Forums for individuals
seeking jobs and scholarships, and for organizations interested in
recruiting qualified candidates.
Over 100 organizations and universities throughout the world currently use
the lists to recruit advanced professional and academic candidates in the
fields of conflict resolution, peace studies, development, human rights,
women's rights, civil society development, micro finance and similar fields.
To date, hundreds of individuals have obtained jobs and scholarships through
the service. As the Announcement Forums have grown, membership has grown to
several thousand people internationally - from advanced professionals and
academics to people seeking entry-level positions.
After several years of hosting the lists through yahoo groups, ACT has begun
hosting the forums directly in order to provide improved service to
subscribers. Along with the creation of a customized site, ACT is also
requiring a small contribution to help offset the management costs of these
large lists.
Residents of designated international regions may qualify for a free
subscription upon approval from the Forum Administrator. Posting to the list
remains free of charge.
LIST OF FORUMS:
There are three main forums for job, scholarships and events in peace and
conflict resolution, human rights and development.  The forums are
subdivided into regions covering all geographic areas of the world (for
example Conflictjobs-AFRICA, Conflictjobs-EUROPE).  A complete list of
Forums and the geographic focus is provided during the registration process.
§ ConflictJobs - For posting of job opportunities in the fields of peace and
conflict resolution, civil society development, human rights and
international education.
§ ConflictScholarships - Posting of scholarship, funding, training and
publication announcements in the fields of peace and conflict resolution,
civil society development, human rights and international education.
§ DCEvents - Posting of talks, conferences, and cultural events in the

society development, human rights and international education.
