Nuffield College intends to appoint, with effect from 1 September 2005, a number of Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows (PPRFs).
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.) 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.
The Fellows' main responsibility is to engage in independent scholarly research. They have no teaching or administrative obligations but are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the College. Financial benefits are as follows:
The Fellowships are intended for scholars from any country, who at the time of taking up the Fellowships will have completed, or be very close to the completion of, a doctoral thesis, or be at a comparable point in a research career. To be eligible, candidates should not, by that date, have spent more than a total of eight years in postgraduate study, teaching or research in the social sciences, and should not have previously held a research fellowship similar to that advertised.
The Fellowships are normally to be taken up on the 1 September 2005. The appointment will be for up to three years.
