The Bridging Divides Initiative (BDI) is a non-partisan research initiative that tracks and mitigates political violence in the United States. BDI supports efforts to grow and build local community resilience through elections and other periods of heightened risk, laying the groundwork for longer-term to bridge the divides we face as a nation.
We do this by 1) producing action-oriented and responsive research to fill existing gaps and empower local leaders; 2) enabling cross-sector collaboration, so individuals and organizations are better prepared to mitigate risk and respond to crisis when it does arise; and 3) helping to drive the policy and community response. Over the past four years, BDI played an essential role in supporting a wide range of actors preparing for and responding to political violence and democratic crisis. Our data, analysis, and tools continue to help a diverse coalition of national and local decision-makers better target their interventions. BDI is based at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), co-hosted by the Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC).

Position Overview
Initiated in 2022, BDI’s Threats and Harassment research aims to fill gaps in reliable data on emerging trends in hard-to-measure incidents against local officials. BDI’s Understanding Threats and Harassment against Local Officials project advances essential understanding of where, who, and how threats are most directly impacting officials and our democracy at its most local level. The quantitative element of this project is the Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) — an event-based data project soon to be publicly-available and updated monthly. The dataset tracks threats and harassment against local officials, allowing for the monitoring of the variety of risks that they may face.
BDI seeks a full-time, fully remote Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) Researcher. They will be a member of the Understanding Threats and Harassment against Local Officials project, contributing to the building and maintenance of the dataset and related research products. The role is envisioned as a one-year minimum engagement, with opportunities for renewal. The Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) Researcher will work closely with other members of BDI’s Understanding Threats and Harassment against Local Officials project team — reporting to the Threats and Harassment Project Manager.
The outcome of your work is reliable data that better defines and reveals the environment of threats and harassment that local officials face – all so decision-makers can make evidence-based decisions to most effectively respond to the threat and harassment landscape in U.S. cities and towns.
