For or of

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks for all your help.

I have a question regarding the use of "for" and "of" in a sentence.

My example is as follow:

1) As an analyst on the team "for" a big government project...
2) As an analyst on the team "of" a big government project...

Both sound fine uttering it out from my month, but I have the feeling that for my purpose (1) is the correct form. Also very possible is neither.

Thanks for your comments.

It could work, but it sounds like the team is big not the project. I understand with big project comes big team, but it seems that the meaning of my original sentence is altered.

Thoughts?

Normally, government project's are big, not teams. Give the reader some credit for common sense. But if you are not happy, use 'for'.

Thanks for your help. I definitely will keep that in mind. I will try both and see which sounds better in the paragraph.
