Science and Technology Roster

Organization Profile

Every year, millions of people around the world go missing as a result of conflict, human rights abuses, disasters, organized crime, irregular migration, and other causes. Be part of a growing international organization that is dedicated to tackling this global challenge.

The International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) is a treaty-based international organization with headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Its mandate is to secure the cooperation of governments and others in locating and identifying missing persons. As the only international organization tasked exclusively to work on the issue of missing persons, ICMP maintains field programs throughout the world. To learn more about ICMP click here.

Science and Technology Expert Roster

ICMP maintains a number of country projects dealing with the missing persons issue and is also responsive to Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) demands, which may make use of ICMP’s forensic expertise.

The Science and Technology Expert roster is designed to ensure an effective and rapid response to the technical expertise and competency demands placed on the organization in order to provide technical advice, assistance, support and training at a global level. As such, vetted experts may be called upon for deployments of various durations.

Additionally, when you submit your application to the roster, you will also be notified as soon as a science and technology job opening becomes available in one of our longer term projects or at headquarters.

The following positions are often needed for a DVI and short-term deployment:
