The Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex (UK) have a vacancy at the full professor level for a quantitative social scientist.

We seek a person who will consolidate and extend ISER's world-class reputation in quantitative analysis of social science research issues. We seek a social scientist with the capabilities and vision to address developing research agendas in an innovative manner and in a multidisciplinary context. (Disciplinary affiliation per se of the post-holder is less important.) The candidate is expected to undertake a programme of research and to lead a team of researchers, to secure funding for new projects, and to supervise research students and teach occasional courses. There are no undergraduate teaching duties currently associated with the post.

Further details are at http://www.essex.ac.uk/personnel/Jobs/details/PR327W.htm. The closing date for applications is 17 May 2007. If you wish to discuss the post informally, please contact the ISER Director (Stephen Jenkins, email: stephenj@essex.ac.uk).
