DEKABAN-LIDDLE GLASGOW-WARSAW FOUNDATION
SENIOR/JUNIOR FELLOWSHIPS 2007-2008
Applications are invited from full-time teachers or researchers in economics and finance, broadly defined, in any university or institution of higher education in Poland for a series of Senior and Junior Fellowships tenable in the University of Glasgow in Session 2007-2008. This will be the nineteenth year of a very successful programme.
The definition of economics may be extended occasionally to include appropriate areas of cognate social sciences since economists need to appreciate the political and social context within which economic policy operates.
From time to time consideration will also be given to suitably qualified candidates from government or business in Poland who can show how they might benefit from a period of study in Britain.
Senior Fellowships are intended for economists in the age-range above 35 and last for from 2 to 4 weeks. Junior Fellowships are intended for those in the age-range 25 to 35 and last for up to 5 months. All the Fellowships cover living expenses and some travel within Britain. Junior Fellows will have the opportunity to enrol for postgraduate classes in the University of Glasgow, and will have the opportunity to participate in the workshop/seminar activities of research postgraduates at the University of Glasgow. Successful applicants will be responsible for their travel to and from Britain, for their insurance and for their dependants. In the case of Junior Fellows, they will be responsible for course fees in any courses they attend at the University of Glasgow.
A good knowledge of English is required. Candidates should provide details of the programme of research which they wish to conduct in Britain and what academic and practical value they expect it will have on their return to Poland. Projects connected with restructuring or with membership of the European Union would seem to be of particular interest at this stage, as might those linked to other, wider research programmes. Candidates should be prepared to give a lecture or read a paper.
The Fellowships will be awarded on the basis of the candidates’ curriculum vitae, the quality of their research project and reference letters. The relevant application form is attached.
Part of the successful candidates’ period in Britain may be spent in places other than Glasgow, but only where this is likely to benefit their studies. Where candidates (especially Junior Fellows) intend to spend a period of study outwith Glasgow University, they should explain in detail the rationale for a visit to other institutions, and the links which they have with these other institutions. On completion of the Fellowship a report will be required.
Applications for these Fellowships should be sent by 15 June 2007 to Professor Jan Michalek, Faculty of Economics in the University of Warsaw, ul. Dluga 44-50, 00-241 Warszawa, Poland.
