Descripción de la oferta
I need an experienced researcher who can keep me ahead of the curve on fast-moving geopolitical developments. Your core brief is international relations, but each report must weave in the economic, trade, and security dynamics that shape diplomatic outcomes. Focus and scope • Diplomatic relations • Foreign policy analysis • Global governance structures Approach Mixed-methods analysis is essential. I expect you to triangulate open-source intelligence, academic literature, data sets, and on-the-ground media into concise, insight-rich briefs. Qualitative narrative must sit beside data-driven charts or visualisations that clearly support or challenge prevailing assumptions. Typical assignment rhythm 1. Agree on a trending issue—anything from shifting alliance formations to trade-driven security flashpoints. 2. Deliver a short outline within 24 hours clarifying hypotheses, sources, and the blend of qualitative and quantitative techniques you will employ. 3. Submit a 6–8 page brief (plus annexed data tables or code, where relevant) within the agreed timeline. Acceptance criteria • Evidence-based conclusions rooted in reputable sources • Clear separation of fact, inference, and opinion • At least one quantitative visual per brief • Action-oriented recommendations flagged for senior decision-makers Tools you are free to use include R, Python, Stata, Tableau, or similar; just ensure the raw files accompany each brief so findings can be replicated. Expect roughly one deep-dive every two weeks, with lighter horizon-scanning notes in between. If your analysis regularly spots the signal in the noise, we will extend the engagement beyond the initial part-time arrangement.
