The John H. Dunning
Visiting Fellowship
We
are pleased to announce the John H. Dunning visiting fellowship
programme for the 2013-14 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-to-mid stages of their 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). This may be in one or two separate
visits. 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 IB
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). Note that
this is not normally a post-doctoral position.
Applications
are invited from interested candidates for the academic year
2013-14. We will appoint two Fellows. Interested parties should
submit:
1. a research proposal,
indicating expected output, and specific academic staff with
whom the applicant will be especially keen to collaborate;
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, especially if they wish to stay
longer. 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 from Christine
Dunning in memory of her late husband.
Professor Narula will
be attending the AIB conference in Istanbul, if you would like
discuss your interest. Alternatively, please contact him by
email.
Applications need to be received by July 22, 2013. Submissions should be made by email to: [log in to unmask]
