The work will be integrated into DSDS platforms and will strengthen ESCWA's in-house geospatial analytics capacity.<br> Work Location<br>Hybrid<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background: The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) supports its 22 Arab Member States in achieving inclusive and sustainable development through evidence-based policymaking. Within ESCWA, the Decision Support and Data Science Division (DSDS) designs and operates AI platforms, data science tools, digital portals and decision-support systems. These include the Arab Development Portal (ADP), the ISPAR policy simulator, Polaris/Naseej (a multi-agent research and policy-synthesis engine), Mustashar (an Arabic-language AI legal advisory tool), and other specialized digital tools. Geospatial data and Earth observation are becoming central to policy analysis in the region. Satellite imagery, remote sensing, mobility data and other non-traditional sources can fill statistical gaps, produce near-real-time indicators, and support monitoring where conventional data are sparse, outdated or disrupted by conflict. Examples include tracking trade flows and border activity, measuring urban expansion and informal settlements, monitoring agricultural production and water use, assessing climate and disaster exposure, and estimating economic activity at the subnational level. DSDS is building a GeoAI capability to integrate geospatial intelligence into its platforms and analytical services. This work also supports the division's forthcoming practitioner manual, GeoInsights for Policymaking: Practitioner Manual for Geospatial Analysis and Decision Support, and related Development Account and technical cooperation work on AI, geospatial and non-traditional data. To lead the technical development of this capability, ESCWA seeks a Senior GeoAI Engineer. Duties and responsibilities: Under the overall supervision of the Chief of DSDS, the consultant will: a) GeoAI architecture and data infrastructure • Design a scalable, cloud-based geospatial data architecture covering ingestion, storage, processing and serving of raster and vector data (e.g., Sentinel-1/2, Landsat, VIIRS night-time lights, commercial high-resolution imagery, OpenStreetMap, administrative boundaries). • Establish reproducible pipelines using cloud-optimized formats (COG, GeoParquet, Zarr, STAC catalogues) and tools such as Google Earth Engine, Microsoft Planetary Computer or equivalent. • Ensure interoperability with existing DSDS platforms (ADP, ISPAR, Polaris/Naseej) through APIs and standard data services (OGC-compliant where appropriate). b) Model development and use cases • Develop, fine-tune and validate machine learning and deep learning models for priority use cases. Final selection will be agreed with the supervisor within the first month. • Apply and adapt geospatial foundation models (e.g., Prithvi, SatMAE, Clay, SAM-based segmentation) where they add value over conventional approaches. • Document model performance, uncertainty and limitations, including ground-truth validation against official statistics where available. c) Decision-support products • Develop interactive geospatial dashboards and map-based decision-support tools for policymakers. • Produce subnational indicator datasets that can feed into ISPAR simulations, ADP data products and Polaris/Naseej evidence synthesis. • Explore integration of geospatial retrieval and analysis into LLM-based agentic workflows (e.g., natural-language querying of geospatial layers). d) Responsible AI and data governance • Apply ESCWA's AI governance principles to all GeoAI work, including data provenance, privacy, bias assessment (e.g., urban/rural and regional representativeness), and the sensitivities of geospatial data in conflict-affected contexts. • Prepare model cards and data documentation for all production models. e) Knowledge products and capacity development • Contribute technical content, worked examples and code notebooks to the GeoInsights for Policymaking practitioner manual. • Design and deliver at least two technical trainings or workshops for Member State officials and/or ESCWA staff. • Provide technical input to project proposals, concept notes and briefs involving geospatial and non-traditional data, as requested. • Mentor DSDS staff and junior consultants and transfer knowledge through documentation, code reviews and hands-on sessions.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree or equivalent in geoinformatics, remote sensing, computer science, data science, geography, civil/environmental engineering or a related field is required.

<p>Result of Service The consultant will design and pilot a small set of policy lenses that extract structured, comparable representations from policy documents, and demonstrate their value on a bounded corpus from a small number of ESCWA member States, in a form that ESCWA can evaluate and extend afterward. The assignment is a feasibility pilot, not a production system: one policy domain, three to five countries, three to five lenses, evaluated qualitatively with policy-expert input. Work Location Remote Expected duration 6 months Duties and Responsibilities Background: The Decision Support and Data Science Division (DSDS) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) seeks a part-time consultant to design and pilot Policy Lens, a structured evidence-synthesis approach for policy documents. Comparing how several countries approach a policy issue means reading many national strategies, evaluations and progress reviews, written years apart and with uneven rigour. Patterns across the set: shared causal assumptions, claims backed by evidence versus simply asserted, targets - are hard to see even when the information is in the text. Policy Lens addresses this by applying an analytical lens to the whole document set at once. Each lens rests on a frame: a defined structure with specific fields that every document maps onto, so outputs are comparable across documents rather than readable one at a time. Examples include a Theory of Change lens, an evidence-strength lens and a gap-detection lens. ESCWA already operates two LLM-based systems: Mustashar, a retrieval-augmented question-answering system, and Naseej, an interactive multi-agent system that drafts substantive policy reports and briefs based on a UN knowledge corpus. Both produce prose for a human reader; neither produces structured, comparable representations. Policy Lens is intended as complementary infrastructure that can feed more reliable, structured material into both. The intended source corpus is the Arab Development Portal (ADP), whose Knowledge Hub documents are already tagged by country, SDG and theme, alongside structured indicator data and an SDG data-availability tracker. This lowers the extraction burden for descriptive and gap-detection lenses in a pilot. Duties and responsibilities: Under the supervision of the Chief of DSDS, the consultant will: 1. Design the lens framework. Articulate the lens/frame concept and develop a taxonomy of lenses (descriptive/comparative, causal, gap-detection), with a justification for Theory of Change as the starting point for the causal category. 2. Apply political-neutrality safeguards. Build neutrality into lens design, especially gap-detection lenses, framing findings as opportunities for regional learning or support rather than as country scorecards. 3. Scope the pilot corpus with ESCWA. Agree on one policy domain and three to five countries and select well-structured English-language documents (national strategies, official reports) from ADP and other sources ESCWA provides. 4. Specify and test three to five pilot lenses. Include at least one descriptive lens (e.g. SDG Alignment), one causal lens (e.g. Theory of Change) and one gap-detection lens (e.g. Population Coverage), each with a defined extraction schema. 5. Build a simple extraction and comparison pipeline. Implement three stages extraction, structuring into the lens schema, output generation using LLM APIs within the budget ESCWA confirms, and leveraging existing ADP metadata and indicator data where possible. 6. Produce structured outputs for policymakers. Generate tables, comparison views and simple visualizations (e.g. a theory-of-change diagram per country). 7. Run an expert validation round. Coordinate a lightweight qualitative review of outputs by experts ESCWA identifies, focused on substantive accuracy, and document findings and error patterns. 8. Recommend integration paths. Assess concretely how Policy Lens outputs could feed Naseej (as structured source material for briefs) and Mustashar (as a structured index alongside text retrieval), in consultation with the teams that own those systems. 9. Document and hand over. Deliver code, schemas, prompts and documentation in ESCWA's repositories so the work can be reproduced and extended. 10. Prepare a methods paper (best effort). Draft a methods-oriented paper on the lens/frame approach, grounded in pilot results, for possible submission with ESCWA clearance. Languages English and French are the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat; and Arabic is a working language of ESCWA. For this position, fluency in English is required. Note: Fluency equals a rating of fluent in all four areas (speak, read, write, and understand) and Knowledge of equals a rating of confident in two of the four areas.

Background Promoting fair and competitive markets supports economic efficiency, private-sector development and consumer welfare. Across the Arab region, economic diversification, digitalization and changes in global supply chains are reshaping market conditions. These developments increase the need for reliable data and applied research to help governments assess competition challenges and develop evidence-based policy responses. ESCWA supports member States in strengthening competition frameworks, improving market performance and building analytical and institutional capacities. Within the Economic Governance, Development Planning and Regulatory Modernization workstream, the Competition Policy portfolio combines regional policy dialogue, country-level technical assistance, market studies, capacity-building and knowledge products, in collaboration with national authorities and regional and international partners. Competition-based market studies are an important part of this work. They examine market structure, supply chains, business practices and regulatory conditions to identify constraints affecting competition. Within this portfolio, ESCWA is supporting the Sultanate of Oman through an extrabudgetary (XB) project on the building materials sector and its implications for competition. The study examines the sector across production, imports and distribution, including market concentration, supply and demand conditions, and institutional and regulatory arrangements.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant will design and pilot a small set of policy lenses that extract structured, comparable representations from policy documents, and demonstrate their value on a bounded corpus from a small number of ESCWA member States, in a form that ESCWA can evaluate and extend afterward. The assignment is a feasibility pilot, not a production system: one policy domain, three to five countries, three to five lenses, evaluated qualitatively with policy-expert input.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background: The Decision Support and Data Science Division (DSDS) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) seeks a part-time consultant to design and pilot Policy Lens, a structured evidence-synthesis approach for policy documents. Comparing how several countries approach a policy issue means reading many national strategies, evaluations and progress reviews, written years apart and with uneven rigour. Patterns across the set: shared causal assumptions, claims backed by evidence versus simply asserted, targets - are hard to see even when the information is in the text. Policy Lens addresses this by applying an analytical lens to the whole document set at once. Each lens rests on a frame: a defined structure with specific fields that every document maps onto, so outputs are comparable across documents rather than readable one at a time. Examples include a Theory of Change lens, an evidence-strength lens and a gap-detection lens. ESCWA already operates two LLM-based systems: Mustashar, a retrieval-augmented question-answering system, and Naseej, an interactive multi-agent system that drafts substantive policy reports and briefs based on a UN knowledge corpus. Both produce prose for a human reader; neither produces structured, comparable representations. Policy Lens is intended as complementary infrastructure that can feed more reliable, structured material into both. The intended source corpus is the Arab Development Portal (ADP), whose Knowledge Hub documents are already tagged by country, SDG and theme, alongside structured indicator data and an SDG data-availability tracker. This lowers the extraction burden for descriptive and gap-detection lenses in a pilot. Duties and responsibilities: Under the supervision of the Chief of DSDS, the consultant will: 1. Design the lens framework. Articulate the lens/frame concept and develop a taxonomy of lenses (descriptive/comparative, causal, gap-detection), with a justification for Theory of Change as the starting point for the causal category. 2. Apply political-neutrality safeguards. Build neutrality into lens design, especially gap-detection lenses, framing findings as opportunities for regional learning or support rather than as country scorecards. 3. Scope the pilot corpus with ESCWA. Agree on one policy domain and three to five countries and select well-structured English-language documents (national strategies, official reports) from ADP and other sources ESCWA provides. 4. Specify and test three to five pilot lenses. Include at least one descriptive lens (e.g. SDG Alignment), one causal lens (e.g. Theory of Change) and one gap-detection lens (e.g. Population Coverage), each with a defined extraction schema. 5. Build a simple extraction and comparison pipeline. Implement three stages — extraction, structuring into the lens schema, output generation — using LLM APIs within the budget ESCWA confirms, and leveraging existing ADP metadata and indicator data where possible. 6. Produce structured outputs for policymakers. Generate tables, comparison views and simple visualizations (e.g. a theory-of-change diagram per country). 7. Run an expert validation round. Coordinate a lightweight qualitative review of outputs by experts ESCWA identifies, focused on substantive accuracy, and document findings and error patterns. 8. Recommend integration paths. Assess concretely how Policy Lens outputs could feed Naseej (as structured source material for briefs) and Mustashar (as a structured index alongside text retrieval), in consultation with the teams that own those systems. 9. Document and hand over. Deliver code, schemas, prompts and documentation in ESCWA's repositories so the work can be reproduced and extended. 10. Prepare a methods paper (best effort). Draft a methods-oriented paper on the lens/frame approach, grounded in pilot results, for possible submission with ESCWA clearance.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree or equivalent in computer science, data science, computational linguistics, public policy, economics or related area is required. A PhD is desirable. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
