UniS University of Surrey Institute of Social Research
VISITING INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP in social research methods
The Institute of Social Research at the University of Surrey,
Guildford, United Kingdom, has established a Visiting International
Fellowship to foster the development of sociological research
methods. One Fellowship will be awarded by competition each year.
The awards are open to those who would value the opportunity to
advance methodological understanding, for example by reflecting on
methods used in previous empirical research, by validating existing
or new methodological procedures, or by reviewing and synthesizing
methodological approaches. 'Methods' may be interpreted widely,
td^include, for example, statistical techniques and conversation and
discourse analysis.
An honorarium of £2,000 will be paid (it is expected that
award-holders will normally be on paid leave of absence from their
employment). Award holders will be expected to pay their own travel
costs to Guildford and their accommodation and subsistence for the
duration of their award, which should be for one or more visits with
a duration of at least one month in total. Visiting International
Fellows will become honorary Research Fellows of the University and
be entitled to use the University Library and make use of University
facilities. The holder is usually permanently resident outside the
United Kingdom.
