Background

The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) provides independent, evidence-based advice to policy-makers, to help ensure full respect for fundamental rights across the EU, for everyone. To this end, the Agency collects and analyses information and data on a range of fundamental rights issues, provides assistance and expertise to EU institutions and to EU Member States’ governments, raises rights awareness, communicates its findings and strengthens cooperation and ties between fundamental rights actors.

Justice, Digital and Migration Unit

The Justice, Digital and Migration Unit undertakes research and data collection, and provides policy-relevant advice, on the situation of fundamental rights in the EU with respect to its specific areas of work, which is divided across three Sectors: (i) Justice and Security; (ii) Data and Digital; (iii) Migration and Asylum. The Unit’s outputs are primarily in the form of reports, position papers and tools for practitioners, alongside the provision of timely expert input and advice to different actors – including EU institutions and EU agencies in the Justice and Home Affairs field, as well as Member States – on fundamental rights compliance, as experienced by people in the EU.

The Unit’s work in the area of internal security is primarily embedded in the Justice and Security Sector but extends to work undertaken by the Unit’s two other Sectors. To date, work on internal security has mainly encompassed research on subjects ranging from law enforcement, including access to digital data for criminal investigations, and use of remote biometric identification by law enforcement, through to terrorism and specifically terrorist content online. The Unit’s work in fields such as cybercrime law, illegal online content, victims of crime (including victims of online fraud), and migration management responses (to name a few) has variously addressed security-related themes, and past work has also encompassed mass surveillance.  

The Unit’s staff consists of legal and social research experts, as well as data analysts, drawn from diverse fields. The Unit is looking to expand its expertise in the area of internal security, which encompasses new and emergent technologies.

Duties

The Internal Security Analyst will:

  • Manage and contribute to FRA research in the area of internal security - including work on law enforcement, online/cyber-related crime and harmful content, terrorism and related threats, and other security-related fields with respect to impacts on fundamental rights;
  • Draft high quality and sound policy and/or legal analysis on issues related to internal security and fundamental rights, based on FRA findings and other available sources, accessible to non-experts;

  • Facilitate provision of practical advice to relevant stakeholders, including in the operational context (e.g. law enforcement), at national and EU level on issues related to internal security and fundamental rights;
  • Promote the Agency’s work and disseminate research findings through various means and channels, including conferences, workshops, expert meetings and events, and organise meetings at FRA with different experts and practitioners;
  • Liaise with relevant stakeholders in the above-mentioned areas, focusing on the justice and home affairs fields, alongside related fields encompassing technological developments (among others).
