>>
>> Student Employment Opportunities
>>
>> The University�s Conflict Research Consortium is looking for students
>> interested working on its Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base and CRInfo
>> (Conflict Resolution Information Source) projects.  The Intractable
>Conflict
>> project involves an international team of experts who are collaborating to
>> assemble and post to the World-Wide-Web, society's cumulative knowledge on
>> strategies for dealing with difficult conflicts associated with issues
>such
>> as Kosovo, Rwanda, the Middle East, globalization, civil rights, and
>global
>> warming (among others).  This is a brand new project, so students starting
>> now will be getting in on the ground floor.  The CRInfo project is a
>related
>> project, now two years old, which is annotating and coding 1000s of
>conflict
>> resolution resources for a massive online clearinghouse.  We currently
>have
>> over 10,000 resources in the system and are fast becoming known as THE
>> source for conflict resolution information on the web.  We need students
>to
>> work on both of these projects.  Specifically, we are looking for students
>> to work part-time in the following areas:
>>
>> Literature Review -- We need graduate students to help us systematically
>> review the interdisciplinary literature on intractable conflict-related
>> topics.
>>
>> Writers and Editors -- Large portions of the Intractable web site will be
>> written for general (rather than academic) audiences.  We are looking for
>> people who can help edit and rewrite key documents in language which is
>more
>> broadly accessible. So we need people who can write quickly and clearly,
>and
>> are willing to take the time needed to master the key conflict-related
>> concepts. We also need people to write fictional accounts of  intractable
>> conflicts (based upon a detailed outline provided by the project team)
>which
>> illustrate key project ideas.
>>
>> Web Surfers -- Vast amounts of quality, conflict resolution-related
>material
>> is continually being posted to the Web.  We need students to help us
>> systematically find, evaluate, code, and catalog information for inclusion
>> in CRInfo.
>>
>> Project Organization and Conference Arrangements -- The Intractable
>Conflict
>> Project will organize at least three international conferences over the
>next
>> two years and will coordinate a large number of international task groups
>> working on project related topics. We�re looking for people with the
>> organizational and people skills to help coordinate this work.
>>
>> Office Assistants -- The project will also need the services on the number
>> of office assistants for data entry, document scanning, copying, mailing,
>> library research, and Web searching.
>>
>> Financial Accounting -- Also needed is someone to help with project
>accounts
>> including the processing of travel expenses, honorarium payments, employee
>> time sheets, and other purchases.
>>
>> Information Technology �- In addition to help in producing the project's
>> dynamic, database driven Web site, we are looking for people who can
>provide
>> technical support for the project's audio, and perhaps video components.
>>
>> More information about the Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base Project  is

>> Application Procedure
>>
>> Interested students should send a resume and writing sample to
>> burgess@colorado.edu along with names of references.  You're also
>encouraged
>> to give the project's co-directors, Heidi Burgess and Guy Burgess a call
>at
>> 303 492 1635.   Note:  We will be out of town from August 10 - August 20.
>> Please send us an e-mail while you are gone, and then give us a call when
>we
>> return.
