Subject: World Bank's Justice for the Poor Program Timor Leste is Looking
for<x-tab> </x-tab>a<br>
Consultant.<br>
<br>
Dear East Timor Study Group <br>
<br>
<br>
The World Bank's Justice for the Poor program, together with the
Timor-Leste National Statistics Directorate, conducted a module on
justice as part of the 2007 extended Timor-Leste Survey of Living
Standards. The justice component of the survey examined four interrelated
issues: (1) community trust and decision-making; (2) knowledge and
opinion of the law; (3) local institutions; and (4) dispute resolution. A
thorough statistical analysis of the collected data has been conducted,
and the J4P team intends to produce written analyses of the relevant
data, pairing statistical analysis with anthropological insight.
<br><br>
The team is therefore looking for a social scientist with substantial
Timor experience to serve as a consultant for write-up of this data. The
consultant will be responsible for producing 3 short, topical policy
notes (approx 3-5 pages each) and one comprehensive report (approx 20
pages) based on the survey findings. The consultant will work lead the
work, but will work together with the J4P team's survey analysis
consultant, who will contribute sections of the report requiring
quantitative analysis (including data tables, charts, etc). The social
scientist will ensure that the data are explained in qualitative terms,
including a discussion of their relevance in the Timor-Leste context and
the potential impact of the findings on current operational and policy
activities. In addition to the TLSLSx and TLSLS databases, the consultant
will be expected to use relevant information from other surveys and
reports on Timor-Leste. <br><br>
The consultant will be expected to work remotely, with minimal
supervision. In addition to extensive experience living or working in
Timor-Leste, the ideal candidate will have the following
qualifications:<br>
- Degree in anthropology or a related field<br>
- Record of publication-quality writing, including experience with
policy-oriented writing<br>
- Ability to work independently<br>
- Basic understanding of statistics, and ability to read and interpret
tables presenting statistical data<br>
- Prior experience with survey analysis<br>
In total, a consultant is needed for a maximum of 50 days between
mid-October and late-December. This position is being recruited urgently,
and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.<br>
Interested candidates should submit their CV, which details related
qualifications, to Pamela Dale
(<a href="mailto:pdale@worldbank.org">pdale@worldbank.org</a>) and
Geraldo Moniz da Silva
(<a href="mailto:monizdasilva@gmail.com">monizdasilva@gmail.com</a>).
Questions are also welcome, and should be addressed to Pamela or
Geraldo.<br>
<br>
