IDS Research Fellows in Knowledge, Information and 
Communication in International Development

(closing date, July 29, 2008)

http://www.ids.ac.uk/go/about-ids/working-at-ids/current-vacancies

What roles do knowledge, information and communication play in 
positive social change? The Institute of Development Studies (IDS), 
Sussex, has launched a new research theme to advance understanding 
in this area (including the contribution of associated technologies) and is 
looking to appointtwo Research Fellowsto lead this work, linking 
research and practice within its Information Department, 
Communications Unit and Research Teams.

IDS is looking for researchers interested in exploring this theme from an 
issue perspective, or equally as processes in themselves, for example, 
how information, communication and knowledge shape, and are shaped 
by, power relationships; how they affect the ways in which groups and 
individuals know, express and engage with development ideas.

The two Research Fellows will be located within the IDS Information 
Department which runs several Knowledge Services 
(www.ids.ac.uk/info) that act as information and knowledge 
intermediaries. We therefore have a special research interest to 
develop thinking and practice in this area, closely linked to our capacity 
development work to support intermediaries around the world.

Required qualifications and skills:
Applicants will need to demonstrate their capacity for leadership, 
innovation and fund-raising and have a strong track record of 
independent research and publication and/or equivalent practical 
experience in a relevant field. They will also need to demonstrate how 
they would link analysis and research findings to practice and policy.

Candidates should have a doctorate or equivalent demonstrable 
experience in research or practice, with at least one year’s experience 
post-doc. A commitment to working collaboratively and in teams with 
people from a range of cultural, disciplinary and organizational 
backgrounds is essential.
