The Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of
Essex (UK) have a vacancy at the full professor level for a quantitative
social scientist. ISER is a leading social science research institute
undertaking research and survey activities. Inter alia, it currently
administers the British Household Panel Survey, and is to administer the
new United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study (a panel of 40,000
households).
We seek a person who will consolidate and extend ISER's world-class
reputation in quantitative analysis of social science research issues. We
seek a social scientist with the capabilities and vision to address
developing research agendas in an innovative manner and in a
multidisciplinary context. (Disciplinary affiliation per se of the post-
holder is less important, but social and public policy analysts are
definitely within scope.) The candidate is expected to undertake a
programme of research and to lead a team of researchers, to secure funding
for new projects, and to supervise research students and teach occasional
courses. There are no undergraduate teaching duties currently associated
with the post.
Further details are attached (pdf file), and at
http://www.essex.ac.uk/personnel/Jobs/details/PR327W.htm. The closing date
for applications is 17 May 2007. If you wish to discuss the post
informally, please contact the ISER Director (Stephen Jenkins, email:
[log in to unmask]).
