The University wishes to appoint as quickly as possible the founding Director of the newly created Oxford Internet Institute (see http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/po/oii/). The Director will also be the Professor of Internet Studies.

The University is looking for an academic with international research standing and considerable leadership skills, including the ability to stimulate debate on the public policy aspects of the Internet. The appointment offers a unique opportunity to shape a new interdisciplinary venture, examining the impact of the Internet on society. A Fellowship at Balliol College, where the Institute is located, is attached to the Professorship.

Applications (eleven copies, but only one from overseas candidates) naming three persons who have agreed to act as referees on this occasion should be sent to the address below, not later than 16 July 2001.

ANDREW W. MELLON PROFESSORSHIP OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

The electors intend to proceed to an election to the Andrew W. Mellon Professorship of American Government with effect from 1 October 2001, or such later date as may be arranged. The vacancy arises upon the resignation of Professor Bryon Shafer (the first holder), who is to take up a chair at the University of Wisconsin.

Preference will be given to a political scientist who combines expertise in one or more of the major branches or institutions of American Government with a broad knowledge of the American political system and its environment. A Fellowship at Nuffield College is attached to the Professorship.

Applications (ten copies, or one only from overseas candidates), naming three persons (with postal and e-mail addresses and telephone/fax numbers) who have agreed to act as referees on this occasion, should be sent to the address below, not later than 30 July 2001.
