The United Nations is now accepting job applications in New York City, New York for Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration officers to "contribute to security and stability in post-conflict environments."

The job listing was posted to the U.N. careers homepage on Dec. 26, and notes that "female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply for this position" because "the United Nations Secretariat is committed to achieving 50/50 gender balance in its staff."

UN DDR forces operate under the intergovernmental organization's Department of Peace Operations to "assist" the Member States, including the United States, in a boots on the ground capacity.

The job listing describes the UN's core values as "Integrity, Professionalism, [and] Respect for Diversity."

Applicants eager to conduct DDR "field missions" are required to have "seven years of relevant experience in disarmament affairs, political analysis or in national military or paramilitary service" and an "advanced university degree (Master's degree or equivalent degree) in disarmament affairs, military studies, political affairs, economics, international relations, or a related field."
