SUSSEX EUROPEAN INSTITUTE
RESEARCH FELLOW - Centre on European Political Economy (Ref 037)
(Fixed Term)
The Centre on European Political Economy is seeking a full-time
Research Fellow to work on a collaborative research project funded
under the Economic and Social Research Council's One Europe or
Several? programme entitled Regional Economic Performance,
Governance and Cohesion in an Enlarged Europe.
The project involves six academic researchers from geography,
regional development studies and economics/labour studies across
three institutions (the Universities of Sussex, Durham and
Hertfordshire). The two-year project will take place in four
European countries (UK, Italy, Poland and Slovakia) to analyse the
extent of differential regional economic performance in an
increasingly enlarged Europe and the degree to which there is
convergence in the performance of firms and sectors within
economically 'strong' and 'weak' regions.
The research fellow will assist in the co-ordination of the project
and will be fully involved in the fieldwork components, drawing upon
quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The successful applicant
will hold or be close to completing a PhD in Geography, regional
development studies, or a related social science discipline.
Fixed term for 2 years. Start date 1 September 1999 or as soon as
possible thereafter. Salary in the range: £15,735 to £23,651 per
annum.
