VISITING INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP in social research methods
Institute of Social Research, University of Surrey

Applications must be received by 30th September 2005 for visits during the calendar year 2006.

[http://www.soc.surrey.ac.uk/isr.htm ]

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. Applicants for the Fellowship will be established scholars in social science with a track record in a field of social research methodology. They will normally hold, or recently have held, an established academic appointment in social science. The Fellowship committee regrets that it cannot consider applications from candidates seeking training, updating of methodological skills, or who are currently registered for an undergraduate or graduate degree.

Recent Fellowship recipients have included David De Vaus (La Trobe), Ed Brent (Missouri), Gary Shank (Duquesne), Elisabetta Ruspini (Padua), Norman Blaikie (Emeritus, Universiti Sains Malaysia) and Edith de Leeuw (Utrecht).

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 conversation and discourse analysis.

Applications from female and ethnic minority candidates are particularly encouraged.

An honorarium of 2,000 pounds sterling (about 3,000 euros or 3,500 US$) 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 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 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 well-known for the work of the CAQDAS Networking Project on qualitative software, the work of the Centre for Research on Simulation in the Social Sciences (CRESS) in social simulation, and the work of the ESRC Social Survey Question Bank and ESRC Survey Link Scheme, both of which are based in the department. ISR is also well-known for its work on the secondary analysis of large data sets and online research methods.

Applications should be sent to Sue Venn, Administrator, Institute of Social Research, Department of Sociology, University of Surrey Guildford, GU2 7XH, UK
Tel +44(0)1483 683966

Applications must be received by 30th September 2005 for visits during the calendar year 2006. Applications must be made on the application form posted on the website noted below. Applications may be submitted in paper form by post or fax, or via e-mail as an attachment in MS Word or Corel WordPerfect. E-mail submission is preferred. Proposals for collaborative research with members of the Institute are especially welcome.

The application form, and more information about the International Fellowship, the Institute of Social Research, and the Department of Sociology at the University of Surrey, is available on our www site
