Nuffield College seeks Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows in Economics, whose responsibility is to engage in independent research in any area of Economics. Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows have no teaching or administrative obligations, although they may elect to run a seminar series, give a short lecture course, or organize a conference. Graduates of any country are eligible.
Candidates should, by 1 October 2003, be close to completing a doctorate. Candidates must not have spent more than eight years in postgraduate study, teaching, or research in Economics.
The postdoctoral salary starts at £16,424. Predoctoral grants of £9,023 are offered. A research budget of £2,046 is also supplied. Free single College accommodation will be provided or £4,017 is offered for housing allowance. Child support funds available.
The appointment will be for two years, extendible for a third provided a doctorate is completed within an appropriate time.
Nuffield College intends to appoint, with effect from 1 October 2003, a number of Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows, whose responsibility is to engage in independent scholarly research. The main interests of the College are in Economics, Politics, and Sociology, but these are broadly construed to include, for example, social science approaches to history, social and medical statistics, international relations, social psychology, and social policy.
Applications are invited from graduates of any country wishing to undertake research in any area of the social sciences except Economics, for which there is a separate competition. (Those wishing to undertake interdisciplinary research which includes Economics may apply for either or both competitions.)
Candidates should normally, by 1 October 2003, 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 Fellowships are to be taken up on the 1 October 2003 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 £16,424. Fellows who have not yet completed their doctorate receive a grant of £9,023. Fellows receive free single accommodation in College or a Housing Allowance of £4,017 a year. Child support funds are available. Each Fellowship includes a £2,046 research budget under the control of the Fellow.
Further details on all of the aforementioned Fellowships and application forms are available from the Economics Secretary, Nuffield College, Oxford, OX1 1NF (e-mail economics.secretary@nuff.ox.ac.uk) or from the College website at http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/. The deadline for all applications is 8 November 2002.
