Oct 3, 2013 at 22:50 comment added Jason Starr "Is this also true for fields that are not algebraically closed?" No, my comment was for algebraically closed fields. Over a non-algebraically closed field, you can try to use Galois descent: the eigenvalues of $\sigma$ are $n^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity. The Galois group acts on these roots. For each Galois orbit, the sum over that orbit of the projectors onto the corresponding eigenspaces will be Galois invariant.

Oct 3, 2013 at 16:58 comment added Jason Starr By "invariant", do you mean "mapped back to itself"? If so, since every permutation matrix is semisimple (at least in characteristic 0), then the invariant subspaces are direct sums of one-dimensional invariant subspaces. So if you know all the one-dimensional invariant subspaces, then you know all the invariant subspaces.
