The Institute of Development Studies at the Univsersity of Sussex, UK is
currently recruiting for three Research Fellows:
(1) GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIP
The Institute of Development Studies, a policy research and training Institute
for overseas development, is seeking to recruit a Fellow to its Gender
Programme. The Programme is concerned to understand the process of the
social construction of gender, the production of differential outcomes
between the sexes in the processes of production, reproduction, and
distribution, and to identify the economic, political, and social changes
required to achieve development with gender equity.
The successful applicant will join a multi-disciplinary team and contribute
to the IDS's research, teaching, and advisory work. Candidates should have
a doctoral qualification in economics, politics, anthropology or other social
science related to development studies, and should have accumulated
experience in applied gender and development research or development
policy work. Masters degree holders with significant (ten years or more)
research or operational experience will also be considered. Relevant
overseas experience is especially welcomed.
Salary in accordance with the Universities' Research Faculty Scales, to be
determined by age and experience.
(2) FOOD SECURITY FELLOWSHIP
The IDS, a policy research and training Institute for overseas development,
wishes to appoint a Fellow to join its Food Security Unit. A demonstrated
capacity will be required to contribute to the Unit's programme of research,
training and commissioned studies, most of which deals with sub-Saharan
Africa. Expertise in the area of relief management or linking relief and
development is preferred. A post-graduate qualification and at least 5 years'
experience, preferably overseas, are the minimum required, though more
senior candidates are also encouraged to apply. Salary in accordance with
the Universities' Research Faculty Scales, to be determined by age and
experience.
(3) FELLOWSHIP SOCIAL SECTOR POLICY
The Institute of Development Studies wishes to appoint a social scientist to
a senior position to develop its programme of work in social policy in
developing countries. A demonstrated capacity to contribute to the range of
IDS research, teaching and operational activities will be required. The
Fellow would be expected to coordinate and develop the Institute's work in
social sector policies, which currently includes health and education, and
pays attention to the gender dimension throughout. Applicants would be
expected to have expertise in one or other social sector but also to provide
a strategic intellectual and operational vision of social policy development
as a whole. Salary in accordance with the Universities' Research Faculty
Scales, to be determined by age and experience.
