information for a particular country, to make regional or global comparisons, or to download the entire database for further analysis.
Information for the project will be drawn primarily from an in-depth survey instrument to be filled out by country experts throughout the world. Some questions can be answered using print or web-based sources, and are thus accessible to anyone with reading knowledge of the relevant language. Others require in-depth knowledge of the country, and therefore expert coders are needed.
We are seeking country experts - who might be graduate students, young scholars, or journalists - to fill out the web-based survey instrument for their country of expertise. We will fully attribute credit to the country experts for the country on which they work. There will be an honorarium (scaled according to the size of the country’s political leadership) for the country experts. The job requires an estimate of 30-50 hours of work depending on the size of the country’s political leadership. Each country expert can only undertake work related to his/her country of expertise.
Graduate students with specific country expertise and in-country experts are welcome to apply. Since the research will be conducted through an online survey instrument, country experts may be living in any location; they do not need to be resident in the United States. The project requires country experts for all Middle Eastern and North African countries.
