Fellowship Description: This is an exciting opportunity for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to join the FINNOV and IKD research teams led by Professor Mariana Mazzucato.
You will be focussed on conducting research within an EC funded project on Finance, Innovation and Growth (http://www.finnov-fp7.eu/), enhancing your career through publication of outputs.
Part of your work will involve writing policy briefs and annual reports for the project, co-ordinating and collating outputs from academics in different FINNOV partner institutions (and countries). Thus previous experience with co-ordinating research is a benefit.
You will also help create synergies between different streams of research within the OU’s Innovation, Knowledge and Development interdisciplinary research centre (IKD, http://www.open.ac.uk/ikd/), potentially leading to a new grant bid.
You should have experience in writing grant proposals and conducting academic research. Knowledge and experience of the UK and EU research funding bodies are important, and some experience with organising research events is desirable.
Fellowship Application Deadline: 04/11/2010
