[gov2001] Fwd: consulting help

Hi everyone. and if you're in Cambridge, Happy Humidity! See below. This looks like a good opportunity to work for a terrific person on what looks like terrific project. If you're interested, please contact Linda directly. Gary --- http://gking.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Linda L. Fowler <Linda.L.Fowler at dartmouth.edu> Date: 2010/6/28 Subject: consulting help To: King at harvard.edu Gary, I am looking for a grad student or recent PhD who would like to earn some money by advising me on methods and research design issues. ?I am working on a book on congressional oversight of national security policy. ?The data include all public and executive session hearings of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees from 1947-2008 and are coded for type of oversight. ?Very little scholarly work on oversight ?generally has been done (I now know why) and only one study tackles oversight of US use of military force, so the book could be important if I get it right. I believe that I have a number of methodological issues to address, many of which are beyond my capabilities. ?I also need advice on graphic presentation. In short, I need someone to tutor me and then to respond to my questions as I begin to work through various issues. ?I am thinking that 10 hours a week would be necessary initially and fewer thereafter, depending upon how apt (or inept) I prove to be. ?I don't think face-to-face contact is necessary, although I might come to Boston once or twice. ?I have sufficient funds to pay generously for the right person. I spoke with your assistant this morning, who suggested that I get in touch with you directly. ?I hope that you can help me out or point me in the direction of someone who can.
