Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team
NY-based Program Associate
Part time, 24 hours per week
Organization Description:
The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (Equipo
Argentino de Antropología Forense, EAAF), established in
1984, is a nonprofit, scientific organization that applies
forensic sciences - mainly forensic anthropology and
archaeology - to the investigation of human rights
violations in Argentina and worldwide. The team was
founded to investigate the disappearance of at least
10,000 Argentines during the military regime from 1976
-1983. Applying forensic anthropology and related
sciences, and in close collaboration with victims and their
relatives, EAAF aims to recover and identify remains,
return them to families and provide evidence in court
proceedings. Through this work, we seek to shed light on
human rights violations, contributing to the search for
truth, justice, reparation and prevention of violations.
EAAF’s headquarters are in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but
we maintain a small office in DUMBO, Brooklyn where
most of our communications and documentation work is
coordinated. We seek a highly organized part time
associate interested in human rights and forensic
anthropology who can work a minimum of three full days
per week to assist with all aspects of coordinating this
work.
