RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP: Social Capital and Sport in the European Union

Research Fellows (3) / Junior Research Fellow (1):
Social Capital and Sport in the European Union

Institute for Public Administration and Healthcare Management (IPAS), Bocconi
University, Milan

IPAS is expanding its research programmes by the creation of a new research
team on social capital and sporting organisations in the European Union. The
project is hosted by Bocconi University and is to be funded by a Marie Curie
Excellence Grant from the European Commission to Dr. Margaret Groeneveld. The
project will specifically focus on organisations in Denmark, Italy, France and
the Czech Republic.

IPAS seeks to appoint three postdoctoral researchers and one post-masters
researcher for this Excellence Team. Depending on qualifications, language
skills, and experience, each researcher will be responsible for conducting
research on one of the case study countries (either Denmark, Italy, France, or
the Czech Republic).

We seek talented and enthusiastic individuals who are keen to work within a
dynamic, interactive, innovative, and international research team.
Demonstrated understanding of social capital theories and of the
practicalities of organisational research are essential.

The Team will be based in Milan, with full support for travel and research
expenses related to the country studies. The working language and primary
academic output of the Team will be in English.

The project duration is three years beginning January 2006.

Enquiries about the research programme and selection criteria should be
addressed to Dr. Margaret Groeneveld (E-mail:
margaret.groeneveld@unibocconi.it). Information in English about Bocconi
University can be found at www.unibocconi.it/eng.

Applications, including a covering letter stating the applicant’s intended
choice of country study and detailing how you meet the selection criteria; a
full curriculum vitae; names and addresses of three referees (one of whom
should be your most recent employer); and a writing sample in English of 8
pages maximum should be sent via email to scsportex@unibocconi.it.

The review of applications will begin 7 November 2005 and will continue until
the posts are filled.
