>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. Between one and
>three Fellowships are awarded by competition each year. The university is
>located thirty-five miles south-west of London.
>
>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, to include, for example, statistical
>techniques and methods of quantitative analysis, field research, content
>analysis and conversation and discourse analysis. The department
>specialises in social research methods and has the highest 5* rating for
>research in the UK Research Assessment Exercise.
>
>An honorarium of 2,000 pounds sterling 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 during the academic year 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 of a
>fellowship is usually permanently resident outside the United Kingdom.
>
>The Institute of Social Research of the Department of Sociology at Surrey
>provides research expertise and research methods for the application of
>social research to contemporary society. It promotes high methodological
>standards and new developments in methodology for the social science
>research community. ISR is the home of CAQDAS, the ESRC-supported centre
>for Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software, is well known for
>its work on the secondary analysis of large data sets, for work on online
>research methods, has an interest in CAPI documentation issues, and the
>Social Survey Question Bank associated with CASS, the ESRC Centre for
>Applied Social Surveys, is located here. Other methodological specialisms
>include the computer
>simulation of social phenomena and cross-national comparison. The
>Department publishes the quarterly SOCIAL RESEARCH UPDATE on the WWW, and
>houses the office of the journal SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH ONLINE.
