Research Fellow
Oxford Internet Institute
Grade 8: Salary £36,532 - £43,622 p.a.
We are seeking a Research Fellow to join our multidisciplinary team
undertaking research into the societal implications of the internet
and related information and communications technologies. This
fellowship offers researchers of outstanding promise or distinction an
opportunity to pursue advanced research within this field.
Our preference is for candidates with a strong theoretical and/or
methodological background in computer science, law or one of the
following social science disciplines: communication, information,
media studies, economics, political science, social psychology or
sociology; and with an interest in an area of research which will
complement one of the institute's current research areas. These
concern the role of the Internet and ICTs in: everyday life and work;
government and democracy; research and learning; shaping the internet;
and issues of theory and policy that cut across these settings.
Applications from those with a track record of multi-disciplinary
research on the societal implications of the internet and/or related
policy issues who have doctorates in other relevant disciplines will
also be welcomed.
Based in the heart of Oxford, this post is available from October 2009
for two years in the first instance with the possibility of renewal
thereafter.
