Flowminder Foundation is a non-profit organisation registered in Stockholm, Sweden with a large part of its staff in Southampton UK as well as an office in Geneva, Switzerland. Flowminder works in close collaboration with the WorldPop Program and the University of Southampton UK. Flowminder’s mission is to improve public health and welfare in low- and middle-income countries in partnerships with governments, intergovernmental organizations and NGOs. Our analyses aim to map the distributions, movements and characteristics of vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries working both in the humanitarian and development sectors. We help save lives and improve welfare by providing analyses and decision support to all relevant parties based on the latest academic advances. Our work includes both research and operational projects, always aimed at having a concrete impact on vulnerable populations. Our multidisciplinary team include demographers, medicals doctors, epidemiologists, geographers, mathematical modelers, sociologist, economists and computer scientists. Our funders include BMGF, Rockefeller Foundation and UN Foundation. We are a rapidly growing organisation with a great team of highly skilled staff, who have a great time together and find meaning in what we do.

Our success in this area stems from the ability of our teams to:

• design and utilise cutting-edge research and analysis methods
• develop new software to facilitate these analyses
• understand and apply these techniques to real-world problems
• work with UN, NGO and government partners to translate our analyses into real-world impact

Our successes in 2016¹ have led to ongoing expansion into new geographic regions as we aim to provide analyses for those affected by poverty, health problems and crises. As we expand our team we are looking for exceptional talent to work together with our analysts, addressing the challenges these new regions bring.
