The John
H. Dunning Visiting Fellowship
We
are pleased to
announce the John H. Dunning visiting fellowship programme for
the 2012-13
academic year, hosted by the John H. Dunning Centre for
International Business
at the Henley Business School, University of Reading.
The
visiting
fellowship programme is aimed at creating opportunities for
researchers at the early
stages of the career to visit and collaborate with academics at
the Centre, and
to utilise resources associated with the John H. Dunning
Library.
Visiting
fellows are
expected to give at least one seminar, and to spend between 2
and 4 weeks in
residence over an academic year (between September and June).
They will become
associate fellows of the Dunning Centre, and are entitled to
refer to
themselves as a 'Dunning Fellow'.
Dunning
Fellows are
expected to be actively engaged in the field of international
business (broadly
defined), and with an inclination towards multi-disciplinary and
theory-driven research,
in the tradition of John Dunning.
Applicants
must have completed their PhD, and should be active engaged in
research, either
at a university or a research organisation. The fellowship is
targeted towards
individuals who have a track record of publications in refereed
journals, and
are not as yet ‘established’ (i.e., either early-
or-mid-career).
Applications
are
invited from interested candidates for the academic year
2012-13. We will
appoint two Fellows. Interested parties should submit:
1.
a research
proposal, indicating expected output;
2.
A detailed
CV, listing publications;
3.
A cover letter indicating how
the applicants will
benefit from an association with the Dunning Centre and its
members, and fits
with the values and research tradition of the Reading School.
An honorarium is
associated with the Dunning
Fellowship. This is intended to subsidise the scholar’s expenses
associated
with travel and board. However, applicants are encouraged to
seek supplementary
resources from other sponsors. Academics who are seeking to take
a sabbatical
may find this especially appealing.
The Dunning Fellowship
has been made possible
in part by a donation by Christine Dunning in memory of her late
husband.
Professors Narula,
Rugman and Collinson will be
attending the AIB conference in Washington, DC, if you would
like further information.
Applications should be
addressed to Rajneesh
Narula, and need to be received by 1 August 2012.
