Job posting:        Short-term researcher(s)
Date:               August 20, 2001
Deadline:           September 3, 2001

The Albanian American Women's Organization "Motrat Qiriazi", a nonprofit 
organization based in New York City, is looking to hire a researcher/team of 
researchers to conduct a needs assessment of the Albanian American women and 
families in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. 

Some of the information sought from this needs assessment include: 
information on the specific geographic areas within the tri-state area where 
the Albanian American community is clustered, the number of Albanian American 
women in these areas, what are the problems faced by these women, the 
barriers in seeking help to overcome these problems, the services needed, the 
services available to women and their families and the best way to refer the 
women to such services both within and outside the Albanian American 
community. A report will be produced as a result of this research. We expect 
the research to be completed in three months.

We expect the researcher(s) to develop the research using census data and 
other available information sources, focus groups, and in-depth interviews 
with community members and leaders of organizations serving the Albanian 
American community.

Requirements:
·   MS in Sociology, Anthropology, Demography or related fields, Ph.D. 
preferred
·   Research experience related to ethnic-based communities in the US
·   Research experience in gender sensitive analysis
·   Knowledge of the Albanian American community a plus.
