Visitor Programme

Visiting Fellows and Associates

The OII welcomes each year a number of established scholars, industry leaders, practitioners, Civil Society advocates and policy makers of distinction or outstanding promise. The programme is designed to give our Visiting Fellows the opportunity to pursue study and research concerning the social impact of the Internet and related ICTs.

Visiting Fellowships may be awarded to suitably qualified academics to undertake study or research at the Institute for a period of between three and twelve months. Academics from other Universities visiting for a period between one week and three months may be awarded Academic Visitor Status. Visiting Associateships may be awarded to suitably qualified policy makers and industry practitioners or equivalent to undertake study or research at the Institute for a period of between three and twelve months.

Closing dates for 2011 application: 4 May 2011; 12 October 2011.

Please note that the OII does not accept applications from Visiting Doctoral students.

Further information and details on how to apply may be obtained from Ornella Sciuto, Administrative Assistant, Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3JS. Tel: +44 (0)1865 612230, Email: recruit@oii.ox.ac.uk

Postdoctoral Fellowships

We accept, on an occasional basis, early career researchers supported by Postdoctoral Fellowships from external funding bodies. These OII Postdoctoral Fellowships are intended for scholars who have recently completed a doctorate in a relevant discipline and who wish to pursue research on the societal impact of the Internet, broadly defined.

Candidates may also be considered if they are near completion of their dissertation and would expect to have received their doctorate before taking up the Fellowship. The length of the Fellowship depends on the external funding body's requirements but they are usually for one or two years.

There is no set deadline for Postdoctoral Fellowship applications however applicants should ensure that they reach Ornella Sciuto, Administrative Assistant, at least three months before the earliest of either the proposed date for taking up the Fellowship or the associated external funding application deadline.

HCN Visitor Programme

With generous support from VSD Medical Science and Technology, the OII has established the Health Collaboration Network (HCN) to support international collaboration in biomedical research and to facilitate scholarly exchange. Full details of the programme, including an application form, can be found on the programme website.
