About The Position
The Behavioral Threat Assessment Analyst is a critical position within the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's multidisciplinary behavioral threat assessment team (BTAT).

As a Behavioral Threat Assessment Analyst, you will be trained in violence prevention and tasked with collecting and analyzing open-source behavioral background information related to individuals of concern.

In addition to data collection and analysis, the Analyst will serve as a subject matter expert on crime and violence prevention topics, providing critical information during high-profile events and incidents. The role also includes supporting other Campus Safety and Risk Management groups, such as Emergency Management and Planning and the University Police Department. Key responsibilities include consulting on active threat assessments, developing mitigation recommendations, coordinating with other BTAT members, tracking escalations and de-escalations, and documenting all case activities.
