CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Research Fellowships at the University of Essex
Applications are now invited for fellowships to support
research visits to the European Centre for Analysis in the
Social Sciences (ECASS), at 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 use
of 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 fifth 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 on 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 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.
The fixed deadline for applications for Summer School bursaries is
30 March 2002.
Other applications accepted at any time, but researchers wishing to
