Opportunity for Placement Fellowship at the Ministry of Justice

Opportunity for Placement Fellowship at the Ministry of Justice

Part of the ESRC Placement Fellowship scheme

19 June 2009

As part of its Placement Fellowship Scheme, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and The National Archives welcome applications from academic economists interested in working in a research capacity in the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI).

OPSI is part of The National Archives, a member of the Ministry of Justice family, working to set standards, deliver access and encourage the re-use of PSI.

The Placement Fellowship Scheme encourages social science researchers to spend time within a partner organisation to undertake policy relevant research and to develop the research skills of partner employees. The Fellowship will be jointly funded by the ESRC and OPSI while the Fellow remains employed by his or her institution.

The six month placement begins in autumn 2009. Applications to be submitted as soon as possible.

More information on this Placement Fellowship can be found on our Research news page and the ESRC website.
