What areas of research will you explore at the OII?

One area is e-democracy, where my research has focused on the role of
the internet in policy advocacy. Is the web enabling citizens to have
a greater influence on the policy process? ...

Visiting Professorship in e-Democracy

Download the job application pack

Applications are sought from scholars within any field in the social
sciences with a proven track record in research on the implications
of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for democratic
practices and institutions. Applications are also encouraged from
established researchers who have not worked specifically in this
area, but who demonstrate great promise in applying innovative
analytic frameworks from related fields to the study of e-Democracy.

The world's first professorship in e-Democracy, at the recently
established Oxford Internet Institute (OII), is designed to be
flexible. It may be held for one or (preferably) two years in the
first instance, with the opportunity for renewal for a third year. It
is tenable from 1st October 2002 (or as soon as possible thereafter)
in association with Jesus College. Secondments will be welcomed.

The Visiting Professor's role will be to design a research and
dissemination strategy to examine the role of ICTs, generally, and
how the Internet, in particular, can be more effectively utilized to
improve democratic processes and institutions. The post holder will
be expected to identify the most critical research issues in the
area, undertake original research, or an original synthesis of
existing research, develop innovative proposals for Oxford research
on e-Democracy, and organise activities, such as research forums, in
collaboration with the policy and practitioner community.

Further particulars (including details of stipend and duties) may be
obtained from Prof William Dutton, Director, Oxford Internet
Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3JS (tel: +44 (0)1865 287210; e-
mail: director@oii.ox.ac.uk) or from our website:
http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk. Closing date: midday on 2nd September 2002.
