Franklin & Marshall College is recruiting for a full-time Project Manager/Research Assistant. The F&M Global Barometers (FMGB), a grant-funded LGBT human rights research project based at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA, is looking to hire a full-time Project Manager/Research Assistant (PM/RA). The PM/RA is expected to fulfill the dual responsibilities of overseeing daily operations and contributing to research. The FMGB provide a comprehensive database of LGBTQI+ rights and experiences that is current, accurate and reliable. The project uses quantitative research methods that allow for longitudinal analyses of trends in LGBTQI+ human rights progression or regression. The Global Barometer of Gay Rights (GBGR) tracks gay, lesbian and bisexual rights and privileges; the Global Barometer of Transgender Rights (GBTR) catalogs rights specific to transgender persons; the Global Barometer of Unified LGBT Rights (GBUR) combines the two measures, the GBGR and the GBTR; the Global Barometers LGBTQI+ Perception Index is a survey that gauges LGBTQI+ lived experiences worldwide. To date, the FMGB have sourced data for 204 countries and territories from 2011-2022. The GBGR and the GBTR have been reviewed by partners in over 40 countries. They include grassroots activists, international and local organizations, academic scholars, policy professionals, and human rights experts who have lent valuable insights into local and regional conditions. The 2024 iteration of the GBPI garnered over 38,000 responses in 122 countries. To enable comparative and longitudinal analysis, all countries on all four indexes are scored on a scale from 0-100% and then graded with a corresponding letter grade (A-F) where F (0%) is the most negative and A (100%) the most positive. The FMGB aims to provide activists, policy professionals, and researchers with a comprehensive, objective database on global LGBTQI+ human rights. In conjunction with the Principal Investigator (PI), the Project Manager/Research Assistant (PM/RA) for the F&M Global Barometers (FMGB) is responsible for designing, planning, and executing the objectives and research products of the FMGB in an efficient and timely manner. The PM/RA works with the PI to envision the project's scope, direct the communications strategy, assign tasks to personnel to complete goals, and acts as a liaison between team members, external collaborators, college administrators, grant managers, and external vendors.
