Fellowship Opportunity http://www.jobs.ac.uk/jobs/QM352/Research_Fellow/ Research Fellow The societal implications of the Internet and related information and communications technologies Oxford Internet Institute Grade 7: Salary £26,666 – £32,796 p.a. We are seeking two Research Fellows to join our multidisciplinary team undertaking research into the societal implications of the Internet and related information and communications technologies. These Fellowships offer postdoctoral researchers of outstanding promise an opportunity to pursue advanced study within this field. Our preference is for candidates with a strong methodological background in one of the following disciplines: computer science, economics, law, political science 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, the posts are available from October 2008 for two years in the first instance with the possibility of renewal thereafter. Further information, including details of how to apply, may be obtained from Laura Taylor, Academic and Student Affairs Officer, Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3JS (tel: 01865 287222; e-mail: [log in to unmask]) or from our website: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk. Applications must reach the Institute by 12:00 noon on Thursday 6 March 2008. It is expected that interviews will be held on Wednesday 19 March. -- Iain Robert Smith Institute of Film and Television School of American and Canadian Studies University of Nottingham University Park NG7 2RD
