Are you a journalist, researcher, social scientist or academic who is unhappy with the state of corruption in the country?
If yes, here’s your opportunity to document it.
Global Integrity that tracks corruption and governance trends across the world is seeking applications from journalists to work on the 2010 Global Integrity report.
The three professionals that Global Integrity is looking for are:
1. Lead Journalist: An experienced journalist with a background in covering politics and economics and who currently works in India. He/she should have a working knowledge of corruption issues in the country and should be able to write and communicate in English.
2. Lead Researcher: A proven researcher with experience in conducting original fieldwork. Researchers with direct experience in studying corruption will be preferred though experts with background in the broader democracy, rule of law, governance, and human rights fields can also apply. The researcher must be independent of government (having not served in a government position for at least 3 years) and possess at least 5 years relevant professional experience. A strong command of English is essential.
3. Peer Reviewer: A country-specific expert located either within the country of study or abroad. Successful peer reviewers can come from a variety of backgrounds (journalism, academia, NGOs, private sector) but must have a working understanding of corruption issues in the country. Peer reviewers must have at least 3-5 years of related professional experience.
Global Integrity will pay the Lead Reporter approximately US$1,500 for preparing the Reporter’s Notebook; the Lead Researchers will get approximately US$2,250 for scoring the Integrity Indicators; and the peer reviewer will get US$300 for the review of each country assessment.
The last date to apply is July 15.
