Nuffield College, Oxford
OFFICIAL FELLOWSHIP IN POLITICS
The College proposes to appoint, with effect from 1 October 1998, an Official Fellow in Politics. Official Fellowships are comparable with Research Professorships in other universities, and form part of the permanent research and teaching establishment of the College. For this particular appointment, preference will be given to scholars with a focus on Comparative Politics broadly defined, especially those specializing in the politics of one or more of the developed nations. Nevertheless, outstanding candidates with a substantial scholarly record which falls beyond this definition will also be considered.
The duties of an Official Fellow are to engage in research and supervise graduate students; an established scholarly record is essential. Nuffield is a graduate college specializing in the social sciences, particularly politics, economics, and sociology.
Further details can be obtained from our website, http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/jobs/, or from Mrs Marion Rogers, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF (e-mail: marion.rogers@nuf.ox.ac.uk), to whom applications, naming three referees (with addresses and fax numbers where possible), should be sent by 1 December 1997.
The College is committed to the principle of equality of opportunity.
PRIZE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
Applications are invited from graduates from any country wishing to undertake research in the social sciences. The main interests of the College are in Economics, Politics and Sociology, but these are broadly construed to include, for example, recent history, social and medical statistics, international relations, area studies, and social psychology. Candidates should normally, by October 1998, have completed, or be close to completing, a doctoral thesis. To be eligible, candidates should not, by that date, have spent more than a total of eight years in postgraduate study in the social sciences, and/or in employment in a teaching or research post in the social sciences (nor should they have previously held a research fellowship similar to that advertised).
The salary scale for a postdoctoral Fellow is from £14,046 to £15,867; predoctoral Fellows receive a grant of £7,715. In both cases Fellows receive free single accommodation in College or a Housing Allowance of £2,540 a year.
Further particulars can be obtained from the Secretary to the P.R.F. Competition, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF, e-mail alison.bateman@nuf.ox.ac.uk. Applications must be received by Friday, 7 November 1997.
The College is an equal opportunities employer.
