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).

BDI is launching and maintaining Political Violence Data and Analysis Libraries — for internal staff, partners, and external users — to provide a centralized, accessible hub for political violence and conflict data and analysis in the US. These libraries will streamline access to critical resources, help identify emerging trends and data gaps, and support the broader mitigation ecosystem. The libraries will provide centralized and searchable repositories of datasets, reports, and analysis products. The public library will be launched in 2025 and will be embedded on the BDI website.
We are seeking a highly motivated Library Project Manager to lead this initiative. As the primary steward of the library, you will manage its design, organization, and ongoing operations while serving as a key resource for BDI staff, partners, and stakeholders. This role offers an exciting opportunity to shape a resource that will advance critical efforts to address political violence. Your work will create a dynamic service hub, ensuring increased access to data and analysis to help the entire violence mitigation ecosystem get ahead of and respond to risk.
The Library Project Manager will be a member of the BDI Research Team – currently a ten-person team working across multiple projects including Understanding Threats and Harassment Against Local Officials, Building and Modeling Structures for Early Warning, and Political Violence Data and Analysis Library. This role will lead the library portfolio and will report to the Deputy Research Director.
