Nuffield College

OFFICIAL FELLOWSHIP IN SOCIOLOGY

The College proposes to appoint, with effect from 1 October 2000, an Official Fellow in Sociology. Official Fellowships are comparable with research professorships in other universities, and form a central component of the permanent research and teaching establishment of the College. The duties of an Official Fellow are to engage in research and to supervise graduate students; an established research record is essential.

Nuffield has a strong tradition of empirically-informed and theoretically-aware Sociology. It is expected that the new appointment will strengthen that contribution to Sociology. There is no restriction on substantive field.

Further details may be obtained from the Warden's Secretary, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF (e-mail sociology.fellowship@nuffield.ox.ac.uk), or from the College's website (http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/). Applications should be received by 10 January 2000.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES AND FUNDING IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

The College welcomes applications from women and men for research or postgraduate study in Economics (broadly conceived), Politics, and Sociology. We also have special interests in the following fields: recent Social, Political, and Economic History, Social and Medical Statistics, Medical Sociology, International Relations, Social Policy, American Studies, Commonwealth History, Social Geography, and European Studies.

The College also offers a number of Nuffield Funded Studentships, open to both UK and overseas students, to cover fees and maintenance.

Nuffield is a postgraduate College within the University of Oxford, with about twenty-five students admitted each year. There are a number of very active research groups, academic visitors from many countries, and an extensive programme of lectures and seminars. The College has an outstanding library, and strong IT support is available to students; it also aims to provide single studies for the duration of study.

The closing date for applications to the University is 31 January 2000.

A prospectus and an application form are available from the Student Administrator, Mrs Glynis Baleham, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF (tel. 01865 278515, e-mail admissions@nuf.ox.ac.uk), or from the College's website (http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/).
