**Responsibilities**:
The Drugs Monitoring Platform (DMP) is a geo-coded system for collection and dissemination of individual seizure data (case by case). This data is processed using artificial intelligence and statistical programming methods aimed at web scraping, cleaning and validating the data, as well as generating data outputs for dissemination.
Automation and standardized processing have become critical to analyzing text-based data efficiently to address the vast quantity of unstructured data that is generated daily. For UNODC to process large quantities of critical information ‘harvested’ in the form of external content as well as data submitted to the UNODC by Member States, a combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as data processing and analytical methods need to be deployed to collect, generate, visualize and ensure the delivery of quantitative data. At the same time, efficient and regular monitoring of communication with Member States must take place to ensure regular data submissions of such data.

The main purpose of this assignment is the processing of data on individual seizures using tools and statistical procedures to convert unstructured information harvested from open content and from other sources into consolidated outputs. The assignment will advance the work of the DMP team by improving the validation and quality of published data on drug seizures using standardized data validation techniques. This assignment will also advance the work of UNODC in increasing the capacity for faster production of larger quantities of data for empirical evidence and threat identification. The outcome of this exercise will provide the statistical evidence to track trends and patterns of drug trafficking.

- High School Diploma is required.
- Experience in management of large datasets and data processing via statistical packages such as R, Python and Stata is required.
- Good statistical reasoning, analytical and organizational skills are required.
- Extensive experience in Microsoft Office package is required.
