        NEW RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
        AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX.

Readers of this list may be interested in a new research
facility which has been established at the UK
University of Essex.The European Centre for Analysis in
the Social Sciences (ECASS) is a large scale
facility for European research and data analysis, supported
by the Training and Mobility of Research (TMR)
Programme of the European Commission.  It has been set
up to help researchers gain access to existing
facilities by providing travel and subsistence support
for short-term visitors to its resources at the
University of Essex.

ECASS is an interdisciplinary research centre which conducts
and facilitates the empirical study of social and
economic change by integrating longitudinal and
cross-national European datasets. It provides support
services required for their analyses, and acts as the
host for major substantive research programmes, primary
among them being longitudinal household panel and
time budget studies.

The first Call for Proposals for these fellowships has been issued,
with a deadline of 28 February, 1997.

Fellowships are available for visits of one week to three months for
training or research purposes.  ECASS is open to
scientific researchers carrying out non-proprietary
research who are nationals of a member state of the
European Community or of an Associated State (currently Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Norway and Israel), and who are working
inside a member state of the European Community, or an
Associated State. UK researchers can take advantage of
the facilities on offer, but EC rules prohibit the
payment of travel and subsistence costs.
