Durham University, Junior Research Fellowship through Centre for Institutions and Political Behaviour
Durham University's Centre for Institutions and Political Behaviour (CIPB)<https://www.dur.ac.uk/ipb/> invites applications through it for a prestigious Junior Research Fellowship at the Durham International Fellowship Scheme for Research and Enterprise.
The Centre is open to supporting exceptional candidates in all fields of quantitative empirical political science but particularly welcomes applications from candidates, which fit with either the current research interests of the Centre's Executive Committee<https://www.dur.ac.uk/ipb/members/>, or our immediate priorities for future development (including quantitative text analysis, big data, randomized control trial, or quasi-experimental evaluation).
Junior Research Fellows are expected to complete a significant piece of original research during the Fellowship, which usually lasts 2 years, although applicants can make the case for a shorter or longer period with a minimum of one and a maximum of 3 years. Applicants must have completed a PhD at the time of application and may not have been resident in the UK for more than 12months in total during the 36 month preceding July 1st, 2016. Starting salaries are in the range £31,342 - £35,256 per annum.
To express an interest in applying through the CIPB should submit to the centre director, Dr Gidon Cohen ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) before 13 November 2015 a statement of interest indicating their fit with the CIPB, a current CV, and a research proposal of 500-1000 words. Please note that these dates are in advance of the advertised closing date of the scheme to allow collaboration in the development of a strategic case for support.
