We are pleased to announce the John H. Dunning
visiting fellowship programme for the 2016-17 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 2016-17. 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.
