Research Fellow – Conflict, Violence & Vulnerability
The Vulnerability and Poverty Reduction Team at the Institute of Development Studies (www.ids.ac.uk) is seeking to recruit a Research Fellow, with the aim of strengthening the Team's capacities in micro level studies of how conflict and violence produce and interact with vulnerability. The position is equivalent to a tenure-track position. The fellow will be expected to devote around 75% of their time on the MICROCON research programme (www.microconflict.eu) in the first year and at least 50% in the second year.
Candidates should have completed, or expect to submit (by May 2010), a PhD in Economics, Political Science, Development Studies or a related social science discipline (though exceptionally, comparable research and practical experience may be taken as a substitute). The successful candidate will have excellent writing skills with a strong research record and have demonstrated experience of writing research proposals and securing research funding. Experience of conducting primary research in developing countries and of implementing independent and collaborative interdisciplinary research projects is also essential. You will be fully conversant with current development debates and policies and be strongly committed to improving the lives of the poor and vulnerable. Language abilities in the country/region of specialisation will be an advantage.
Salary: £32,366 - £42,828 per annum dependent on experience.
Closing date: 09 November 2009, 12 midday UK Time
Interview date: 01 December 2009
