Nuffield College intends to appoint, with effect from 1 October 2002, a number of Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows, and applications are invited from graduates of any country wishing to undertake research in the social sciences. The main interests of the College are Economics, Politics, and Sociology, broadly construed. The responsibility of a Research Fellow is to engage in independent scholarly research within those areas.
Candidates should normally, by 1 October 2002, 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. Also, they should not have previously held a Research Fellowship similar to that advertised.
The Fellowships are to be taken up on 1 October 2002, and cannot in general be postponed. The appointment will be for two years, extendible for a third year provided a doctorate is completed within an appropriate time.
The salary scale for Fellows with a doctorate is from £16,134 a year. Fellows who have not yet completed their doctorate receive a grant of £8,863. Fellows receive free single accommodation in College, or a Housing Allowance of £3,946 a year. Child support funds are available. Each Fellowship includes a £2,000 research budget under the control of the Fellow.
Further particulars and the application form can be obtained from the College website (http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/), or from the College Secretary, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF (e-mail college.secretary@nuf.ox.ac.uk). Applications must be received by 9 November 2001.
