Nuffield College intends to appoint, with effect from 1 October 2002, a
number of Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows, and applications are invited
from graduates of any country wishing to undertake research in the social
sciences. The main interests of the College are in Economics, Politics and
Sociology, broadly construed. The responsibility of a Research Fellow is to
engage in independent scholarly research within those areas.
Candidates should normally, by 1 October 2002, have completed, or be close
to completing, a doctoral thesis. To be eligible, candidates should not, by
that date, have spent more than a total of eight years in postgraduate
study in the social sciences, and/or in employment in a teaching or
research post in the social sciences, nor should they have previously held
a research fellowship similar to that advertised.
The Fellowships are to be taken up on the 1 October 2002 and cannot in
general be postponed. The appointment will be for two years, extendible for
a third year provided a doctorate is complete within an appropriate time.
The salary scale for Fellows with a doctorate is from £16,134. Fellows who
have not yet completed their doctorate receive a grant of £8,863. Fellows
receive free single accommodation in College or a Housing Allowance of
£3,946 per year. Child support funds are available. Each Fellowship
includes a £2,000 research budget under the control of the Fellow.
