Research Fellowships at the University of Essex
Readers of this list may be interested in the availability of fellowships
to support research visits to the European Centre for Analysis in the
Social Sciences (ECASS), located within the Institute for Social and
Economic Research at the UK University of Essex. These awards allow
researchers to visit Essex for periods of up to three months and to spend
time carrying out their own research, making useof Essex facilities and
data collections and up-grade their analytical skills.
ECASS is a major infrastructure for European research and data analysis,
supported by the Improving Human Potential - Enhancing Access to Research
Infrastructures Programme of the European Commission.
Now in its fourth year, it was set up to help researchers gain access to
existing ISER and Data Archive facilities by providing travel and
subsistence support for short-term visitors. More information on ECASS,
ISER, the Data Archive and the Essex Summer School can be found at the
web at the address below.
ECASS is interdisciplinary specialising in the empirical study of social
and economic change in a comparative context. It integrates longitudinal
and cross-sectional European datasets, provides technical and intellectual
support services required for their analyses and acts as the host for
major substantive research programmes - primary among them being
longitudinal household panel studies and time budget studies.
Researchers visiting ECASS will be able to:
collaborate with researchers producing the British Household Panel
Study and the European Community Household Panel Study within the
Institute for Social and Economic Research, and in comparative
longitudinal research on a variety of social and economic topics,
and take advantage of the resources of the national Data Archive
with over 4,000 significant social indicators datasets - both
quantitative and qualitative, and participate in the Essex Summer
School in Social Science Data Analysis and Collection (through
ECASS bursaries),
Interested researchers (postgraduate or postdoctoral) are invited to
submit individual or joint, comparative research proposals to ECASS. Only
those who are employed in European Union and Associated countries (Iceland,
Norway, Liechtenstein, Israel, Bulgaria, Republic of Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia) and excluding the United Kingdom are eligible.
Applications are considered at any time. Early application is advisable.
