We
are pleased to announce the John H. Dunning visiting fellowship
programme for the 2015-16 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
but not as yet ‘established’ (i.e., either early-
or-mid-career).
Applications
are invited from interested candidates for the academic year
2015-16. We will appoint two Fellows. Interested parties should
submit:
1. a research proposal,
indicating expected output associated with the fellowship.
Please be very clear on how specific collaborations with our
staff will help these plans;
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.
