Overview

Nuffield College intends to appoint a number of Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows (PPRFs).

Applications are invited from graduates of any country wishing to undertake research in any area of the social sciences except Economics, for which there is a separate competition (applicants who wish to undertake interdisciplinary research which includes Economics will also be considered). The main interests of the College are in Economics, Politics and Sociology, but these are broadly construed to include, for example, social science approaches to history, social and medical statistics, international relations, social psychology, public policy, and social policy.

Target countries and eligibility

The Fellowships are intended for scholars from any country. To be eligible, candidates should by 1 September 2010 have completed, or be close to completing, a doctorate, or should be at a comparable point in a research career. Candidates must not have spent more than a total of eight years in postgraduate study, teaching or research in the social sciences by the date of taking up the Fellowship, and should not have previously held a research fellowship similar to that advertised. The appointment will be for 3 years.


Value of fellowship

• Post-doctoral salary starts at £21,555 p.a.
• Research budget £2,301 p.a.
• Free single College accommodation or £5,272 p.a. housing allowance
• Free lunch and dinner in College

Responsibility

PPRFs' main responsibility is to engage in independent scholarly research. They have no teaching or administrative obligations but are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the College. They will be expected to organize a seminar or workshop in their subject area during the three-year term of their appointment and the College can help finance and organize these activities.
