Details posted on behalf of Dr Jane Barrett, Head of Social Science Research at the Food Standards Agency:
The Food Standards Agency is looking to appoint a chair and up to ten members of a new, independent Social Science Research Committee (SSRC). The SSRC will play an important role in helping the Agency achieve its strategic goal of strengthening its capacity for social science research.
The chair and members will, therefore, come from a variety of social science disciplines, be experts in their subjects and have good links with a wide range of academics and research organisations. Applicants with experience of European and wider international research and those with significant influence in, and knowledge of, potential funding bodies will also be welcome.
Is expected that the SSRC Chair will need to spend around 8-12 days per year on Committee business. Committee Members will need to spend around 6-10 days per year. A daily fee will be paid.
Application packs and further details are available from Jane on 020 7276 8263, or via [log in to unmask] Completed applications must be in by 7 December 2007.
