The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is recruiting two U.S. higher education experts for a 10-14 day consultation (including travel) with a major scholarship program in Iraq. These experts will analyze the scholarship program’s administrative systems, including financial/accounting, data management, placement, and monitoring systems. Then they will recommend the next steps to improve the scholarship program’s technical systems, including options for software and hardware, staff training, and resource requirements.

The Embassy will provide secure accommodation and transportation in Baghdad, in addition to travel expenses, per diem, and an honorarium.

Applicants should be:

Familiar with U.S. higher education operations, financial systems and data management, software and hardware systems currently used by U.S. universities;
Able to recommend specific technical packages or companies that can provide services to the scholarship program;
Willing to travel to Baghdad;
Interested in helping the Iraqi higher education system increase its capacity and improve its processes!
