Assist in Structured Interviews for PhD Research

I am currently in the data-gathering stage of my PhD in Law and require hands-on support with structured interviews, which constitute my primary mode of data collection. My doctoral research examines the fairness and adequacy of passenger compensation within Indian Civil Aviation Law, and I have already prepared a detailed questionnaire tailored for different expert categories. The structured interview schedule comprises: 25 questions for Judicial Officers and Judges 31 questions for Industry Practitioners such as Legal Heads of Airlines (Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, Vistara, etc.) 15 questions for Customer Service and Claims Managers dealing with passenger disputes 15 questions for Representatives from the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) 9 questions for DGCA Officials (regulatory perspective) 15 questions for MoCA Officials (policy and legislative perspective) 8 questions for Legal Experts specialising in aviation compensation law A minimum of 20 experts, distributed across these categories, must be interviewed. Scope of Work The responsibilities include: Identifying and recruiting suitable experts from the above categories Scheduling interviews with them Preparing participant-facing documents such as: Consent forms Information sheets Confidentiality notes (all in line with university ethics protocols) Assisting in conducting structured interviews via Zoom, MS Teams, or face-to-face Ensuring all responses are recorded verbatim Producing transcripts with at least 95% accuracy, spot-checked against the audio recordings Delivering transcripts in Word or Excel, tagged with metadata (participant code, category, date, duration) Creating a master file containing all raw responses Delivering material in a clearly organised folder structure --- Acceptance Criteria Supervisor approval of the interview schedule and flow Completion of at least 20 structured interviews, each no less than 30 minutes Transcript accuracy of 95% or higher All material delivered in a clean, systematically organised folder Familiarity with qualitative research tools such as NVivo, [login to view URL], or MAXQDA is an added advantage Knowledge of legal research methodologies will be considered an advantage, though my immediate requirement is for rigorous, reproducible, and academically credible data collection --- Who Can Apply Professionals or researchers capable of: Identifying relevant experts Coordinating interviews Ensuring accurate data capture Delivering high-quality transcripts and documentation Interested individuals with the capacity to assist in expert identification and reliable interview execution are invited to connect at the earliest to discuss timelines and collaboration details.
