🗓️ Deadline: June 29, 2025
Positions can be full-time or part-time. We look forward to hearing from you!
We're hiring at the @munsecconf.bsky.social (Munich Security Conference)!
We're looking for:
Senior Researcher (focus: survey research & data analysis)
Senior Researcher (open profile – we’re looking for complementarity, not duplication)
Editor (native-level English; excellent German is a plus)
Excerpt from the speech: "And it's hard to believe, a little bit, after some trips to Europe that I'm saying this this – but thanks to President Trump Asian allies should look to countries in Europe as a new-found example. NATO members are pledging to spend 5% of their GDP on defense, even Germany. So it doesn't make sense for countries in Europe to do that while key allies in Asia spend less on defense in the face of an even more formidable threat, not to mention North Korea."
Indeed hard to believe. If someone had told me some months ago that a key official in the Trump administration would refer to Germany as a positive example when criticizing other Allies' lack of defense spending... Pete Hegseth at the Shangri-La Dialogue. www.defense.gov/News/Speeche...
