                  Five-Year Research Fellowship in
                    Experimental Social Sciences


     Nuffield College intends to appoint, with effect from 1st
     September 2008, a Research Fellow in Experimental Social
     Science (RFESS).


     QUALIFICATIONS:

     Applications are invited from post-doctoral researchers of
     any country wishing to undertake research in any area of
     experimental social sciences. 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. The College has recently
     begun an initiative in Experimental Social Science that
     includes a 20 station experimental lab that is dedicated to
     experimental research by scholars and students at Oxford
     University. It also includes a regular seminar on
     Experimental Social Science that highlights the research of
     leading experimental social scientists. The RFESS will be
     expected to play an active role in promoting the
     development of the Nuffield Centre for Experimental Social
     Science.


     DESCRIPTION:

     The RFESS's main responsibility is to engage in independent
     scholarly research and to promote the development of
     experimental social science in the College. He or she will
     have no teaching or administrative obligations but will be
     expected to participate in the intellectual life of the
     College. This will include contributing to
     interdisciplinary exchanges that build on Experimental
     Social Science. The RFESS will be expected to organize,
     periodically, seminars or workshops in the area of
     experimental social science over the course of the five-
     year term of their appointment and the College can help
     finance and organize these activities.


     SALARY/BENEFITS:

     - Research Fellow salary scale points 12-19:
       British Pound 31,625 - 41,348.

     - Free lunch and dinner in College (Common Table)

     - Membership of the Senior Common Room

     The Fellowship is intended for scholars from any country,
     who have completed a doctoral thesis and who are in the
     early years of an active research career. The Fellowship is
     equivalent to an Assistant Professorship in terms of
     academic standing, but it carries no teaching obligations.

     The Fellowship would normally be taken up on 1st September
     2008. The appointment will be for up to 5 years.
