Clone of Call for Researchers and Peer Reviewers for the Resource Governance Index (RGI) 2016

The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) seeks individual researchers and peer reviewers to support the data gathering process for the 2016 Resource Governance Index (RGI).

Researchers will be responsible for answering a detailed questionnaire for each country under their responsibility, providing information on the government’s reporting and disclosure practices and on the country’s legal framework for the extractive sector. NRGI particularly welcomes applications from locally-based independent researchers who are committed to working long-term on resource governance issues in the country they are covering.

Peer reviewers will be responsible for reviewing/fact-checking the questionnaires for each country under their responsibility. NRGI particularly welcomes applications from locally-based peer reviewers associated with research or advocacy institutions that are committed to working long-term on resource governance issues in the country they are covering.

Researchers and peer reviewers will be expected to sign a standard contract with the Natural Resource Governance Institute. Terms and conditions include confidentiality, no conflicts of interest and that the work product will be intellectual property of NRGI. Should consultants be interested, their contributions can be acknowledged in the published product.

Please provide a CV, cover letter, brief writing sample (of which the applicant is the sole author – no more than 15 pages, academic papers acceptable), and the names, email and phone number of two professional references. To apply as a researcher or peer reviewer associated with an institution, an expression of interest including your organization’s name, name of the person responsible, and contact information should be provided instead of a cover letter.
