Description

Early Career Fellowships aim to provide career development opportunities for those who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers but with a proven record of research.

The Trust will contribute 50% of each Fellow’s total salary costs up to a maximum of £23,000 per annum and the balance is to be paid by the host institution. Given the prestige of the awards each Fellow may request annual research expenses of up to £6,000 to further his or her research activities.

Please ensure that applications do not include any of the ineligible costs listed here.

Fellowships are normally tenable for three years on a full-time basis, but requests to hold the award part-time over a proportionately longer period will be considered if this is appropriate for the nature of the research proposed and the career development of the individual. Please note that Fellowships of 24 months are no longer offered by the Trust.

The intention is to support the career development of those building an academic career within the UK.

Fellowship:  A stipend to meet living costs in Oxford

Description

Media and Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe (MDCEE), is an interdisciplinary research project launched in October 2009 and is funded by the European Research Council.

The project aims to investigate the often troublesome and poorly understood relationship between democracy and the media in Central and Eastern Europe, but the findings should be more broadly applicable to consolidating democracies worldwide.

Applications are invited for short-term Visiting Fellowships for the academic years 2011-12 and 2012-13.

Fellowship

Successful applicants will work with the project on Media and Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe, which is sponsored by the European Research Council (ERC). Visiting Fellows will either help to collect and process empirical data from the region, or will focus on broader theoretical questions related to the project’s main theme. The project aims to establish what kind of democracy is needed for media to perform its agreed-upon normative functions. Our focus is on news media, including both “old media” (broadcast and print) and the “new media” of the Internet. The major research areas are:

• Media ownership and commercial pressures
• Media regulation and political pressures
• Journalistic autonomy and professionalisation

Visiting Fellows will be expected to live in Oxford for a period of either one or two terms (three or six-months) between October and March each year. They will be expected to take an active part in various academic events organized within the project and to prepare for publication the findings of their work in Oxford.

Fellows will be based at St Antony’s College, University of Oxford and will be members of the University’s Department of Politics and International Relations during their stay.

Eligibility

All interested candidates are eligible to apply. A good spoken and written knowledge of English is essential, and the Fellowships carry a stipend to meet living costs in Oxford.

Application

Applications, including a CV, a two-page outline research proposal, your preferred period of tenure and the names and contact details of two referees, should be sent to:

Project Administrator
E-mail: mdcee@politics.ox.ac.uk
