The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD)
invites expressions of interest from researchers to collaborate in its new
research initiative on the politics of domestic resource mobilization for
social development.

In the current context of global fiscal austerity and declining aid flows,
this project seeks to inform global debates on the political and
institutional contexts that enable low-income countries to mobilize
domestic resources for social development.

UNRISD invites scholars with a proven track record in research and
publication on issues related to domestic resource mobilization, taxation,
public finance and governance, aid and political economy, to submit an
expression of interest. Countries under consideration include (but are not
limited to) Liberia, Uganda and Zimbabwe, and Bolivia, El Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras.

We are accepting expressions of interest from:

   potential country team coordinators who could lead, and put together, a
   team of researchers; and
   individual researchers who would be willing to join country research
   teams.

Multidisciplinary country research teams will consist of one team leader
with up to three supporting researchers. Researchers will normally be based
in the country of research, and have extensive expertise on that country;
they should hold a PhD and demonstrate relevant experience and
publications. Team leaders will have experience in managing and
coordinating research projects.

Participating researchers will collaborate in developing a comparative
methodology, undertake field work, draft reports and academic outputs, and
engage in workshops, conferences, policy dialogues and other communication
activities between January 2013 and December 2014.

To read the full project proposal, the project brief, or for more on the
project, see www.unrisd.org/pdrm.

To submit your expression of interest (EOI):

Please ensure that you have read the full project proposal before
completing the EOI form (click to open) . The form includes space for a
brief proposal as to how you/your research team would approach the
research.

Please send the completed form, along with the following attachments, to
pdrm at unrisd.org, using the subject line ?EOI submission?:

   a full CV (including academic record and list of publications); and
   a sample of a recent single authored piece of academic work on a topic
   related to this research project.

Deadline:

23.59, Sunday 25 November 2012 (CET).

More on this Call:

   UNRISD particularly welcomes expressions of interest from women, young
   researchers and researchers from and based in developing countries.
   Due to limited staff resources, only shortlisted candidates will be
   contacted.
   If you are not submitting an EOI, but you are interested in
   participating in other ways, such as conferences, e-dialogues etc.,
   please get in touch.
   For further information contact Ciara McCorley at mccorley at unrisd.org
