Organizational Setting
The Department of Safeguards is the IAEA’s global nuclear inspectorate, supporting the development and implementation of safeguards to ensure that there is no diversion of declared nuclear material from peaceful activities. The Division of Information Management (SGIM) implements methodology for collection, processing and analysis of safeguards‑relevant information. The role supports verification activities by validating and evaluating data for comparison with State declarations.
Main Purpose
Reporting to the Team Leader, the Safeguards Statistical Data Analyst works within a team to provide quality findings for departmental evaluation activities. The Analyst analyses data from laboratory analysis of environmental samples and measurements taken during in‑field verification activities performed by IAEA inspectors and compares this data with State declarations to identify discrepancies or areas for follow‑up. This involves complex data analysis, design and implementation of statistical models, and preparation of recommendations and reports.
Responsibilities
Process and evaluate information from State declarations and verification activities, including verifying the correctness and completeness of State declarations and supporting the implementation of safeguards measures.
Conduct analysis of incoming data from a variety of sources, such as States’ nuclear material accounting reports and data collected by Nuclear Safeguards Inspectors during inspections and in‑field verification activities at nuclear facilities.
Verify the quality of data by checking for accuracy, consistency and completeness and carry out follow‑up actions to resolve issues or inconsistencies.
Evaluate and compare collected data using modelling and statistical evaluation tools to identify, analyse and interpret trends and patterns in complex datasets.
Deliver value‑added actionable findings and recommendations to collaborators as a key input to the annual reporting process.
Collaborate with stakeholders to improve data flows and data quality, providing guidance to optimise in‑field data collection activities at nuclear facilities.
Contribute to developing and improving statistical methods and quantitative models for analyses and data modelling, including prototype software development and testing.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by participating in the development, testing, implementation and management of statistical databases.
Subject to Board of Governors approval, participate in safeguards inspections and complementary accesses and provide support to in‑field verification activities.
Deliver training or presentations at conferences, seminars and training programmes.
Key Competencies
Communicates orally and in writing clearly and impartially.
Initiates realistic outputs and clarifies roles, responsibilities and expected results.
Actively contributes to team results and supports team decisions.
Plans and organizes own work in support of team or section priorities, considering potential changes and proposing contingency plans.
Required Expertise
Statistics – Advanced statistical methods, expertise in applying statistical techniques, concepts and modelling tools to analyse data and identify patterns and trends.
Information Technology – Data analysis, coding using high‑level programming languages such as Python or R.
Statistics – Mathematical analysis, expertise in performing mathematical analysis on measurement‑related data, especially for the estimation of measurement uncertainties.
Asset Expertise
Safeguards – Nuclear Fuel Cycle/Nuclear Facilities – Knowledge of operational characteristics and nuclear material encountered in major types of nuclear fuel cycle facilities.
Safeguards – Nuclear Material Accounting – Practical knowledge of nuclear material accounting principles and State reporting obligations.
Qualifications, Experience and Language Skills
Bachelor’s Degree in mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science or a related discipline.
Minimum of five years of relevant working experience as a statistical data analyst, contributing to core business objectives and producing analytical reports.
Experience in measurement error estimation and propagation and statistical sampling methodologies.
Experience in software development or maintenance, particularly for mathematical/statistical, scientific, or data visualization applications, is an asset.
Excellent oral and written command of Arabic and English. Knowledge of other IAEA official languages (Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish) is an asset.
