As we are currently seeking to recruit Visiting Research Fellows at the Oxford Internet Institute, please can you post the following, many thanks Vicki Nash OXFORD INTERNET INSTITUTE Visiting Fellows RESEARCH STAFF GRADE IA: £18,265 to £27,339 (with a discretionary range up to £33,679) Applications for up to six Visiting Research Fellowships for the academic years 2003/04 and 2004/05, or part thereof, are invited by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), a new department in the University's Social Science Division which aims to become the world's leading multi-disciplinary academic centre focused on the societal implications of the Internet and related information and communication technologies (ICTs). Established by the University in 2001 with initial funding of £15m, the OII's social research on the Internet and related ICTs seeks to help inform and influence the related debate that is shaping research, policy, and practice around the world. This is accomplished through high-quality research, collaboration, teaching, and use of the Internet as a strategic resource. These Fellowships offer persons of outstanding distinction or promise an opportunity to pursue research related to the OII. Applications may be in any area related to the work of the OII, but should preferably address one of the Institute's five current research focal points. These concern the role of the Internet and ICT in: governance; learning and education; scientific and social research; everyday life and work; and policy issues that cut across all these social settings. Fellows will normally be expected to reside in or near Oxford for the majority of their visit. They will be entitled to office space at the OII, in the heart of Oxford, and to participate fully in the intellectual life of the OII and the wider University. They will be expected to cooperate with the work plans of the OII under the guidance of the Director. Salary will be in the Research Staff Grade IA range identified above (or pro rata for shorter appointments).
