PROFESSOR OF QUANTITATIVE SOCIOLOGY
Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), 
University of Essex, Colchester, UK
 

The Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER)
wishes to appoint a Professor with research interests 
in sociology, social policy or a closely related subject. 
Candidates should have an excellent research record in 
the quantitative analysis of issues such as work, household 
organisation, gender, ethnicity, social mobility, social 
inequality or social and political values in a national 
and/or cross-national context. They should have experience 
in analysis of survey data, and familiarity with relevant 
statistical methods. 

The appointee is expected to undertake a programme of 
sociological or related research and to lead a team 
of researchers. S/he will also take a lead in securing 
funding of new projects. There are no undergraduate 
teaching responsibilities associated with the post, but
the successful candidate will be expected to supervise 
research students and to teach occasional graduate and 
training courses. As one of the senior members of ISER, 
the successful candidate will also have the opportunity 
of taking on a senior management role.

This is a senior post (full professor in US jargon). 
"Senior" means senior in outlook, attitude and aptitude. 
Senior need not equate with years of service or length 
of CV to date (though it may well do).

Appointment to this full-time, permanent post will commence 
on 1 October 2006. A competitive salary will be commensurate 
with the successful applicant's qualifications, experience 
and achievements and will reflect the prevailing market for
candidates of high quality. 

Closing date for applications: 28 February 2006. 
For further information about the post and method of 
application, see:

ISER specialises in the analysis of longitudinal and panel
data. It has a team of more than 25 full-time researchers 
from several social science disciplines. ISER's survey 
division runs the British Household Panel Survey.
