I am looking for a research assistant in South Korea. The project description is below. Please distribute among your students and colleagues.
~~~~~~~~
This project will evaluate planning successes and failures of national capital cities which were newly created in the last 100 years. Typically these perfectly planned capital cities have been built as sites of national display. This research project will explore contemporary planning issues in these cities from a social, cultural, practical, and political perspective. Sejong City is one of the case studies.
I am seeking a Research Assistant (RA) to conduct interviews in Sejong.
This RA position is suitable for a graduate student or entry-level planning practitioner. The RA will conduct 10 interviews and translate those interviews into English. The interviewees will be urban planners from the national and local governments and, possibly, urban design consultants involved in projects in the city. The interviews will last 45-60 minutes each. I will provide the interview questions and the Research Assistant can complete the interviews in his/her own time. Also, I will provide a list of potential contacts to get the RA started.
The project deliverables are the interview voice recording and the English translation in a Word document. The RA can transcribe the recording directly into English (it does not need to be transcribed in the local language first).
Very good working knowledge of English as well as commitment to the project, excellent communication skills, and responsiveness to emails are key qualities for this job.
The compensation will be a lump sum commensurate with experience. The deadline is end of September.
