Natalie Pauwels was employed as pre-doc researcher at UEA for a three-month period in 2004. She was involved in the RTN Network since its inception as network associate based at the Institut d'études européennes, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), where she is a doctoral student. She benefits from a doctoral research grant from the Pôle Bernheim d'Etudes sur la Paix et la Citoyenneté, and her PhD thesis focuses on international policy responses to economies of contemporary civil wars, particularly efforts to regulate the trade in lucrative natural resources.

Natalie previously worked as a researcher at the International Security Information Service, Europe (ISIS Europe), junior researcher at the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) where she edited and contributed to a book on demobilization and reintegration, and research assistant at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's (SIPRI) Chemical and Biological Warfare Project. Following studies at the London School of Economics (MSc) and the University of Toronto, Canada (BA), she began her career in research as an intern at the Stockholm Environment Institute as part of the 'Young Canadian Leaders for a Sustainable Future' programme funded by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).

She holds a DEA in political science from the ULB, an MSc in European Studies from the London School of Economics and a BA in Political Science from the University of Toronto, Canada, and should complete her doctoral thesis in late 2005 -- assuming all goes according to plan.
