Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization/chercheur-e invit=?iso-8859-1?Q?=E9-e_en_perspectives_f=E9ministes?= sur la mondialisation

The International Development Research Centre (IDRC)-

Carleton University-University of Ottawa

School Year 2008-2009

Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization

The Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies (Carleton
University) and the Institute of Women's Studies (University of
Ottawa), with the support of the International Development Research
Centre (IDRC), are pleased to launch the second phase of the research
programme on Feminist Perspectives on Globalization. This two-year
(2008-2010) programme offers highly qualified researchers working on
issues of globalization from a feminist perspective, from developing
countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, the
Caribbean and the South Pacific, the opportunity to spend a research
term in Ottawa based at one of the two universities. The Visiting
Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization will contribute to
gender and development research at both universities and provide a
unique opportunity for collaboration between feminist scholars in
Canada and the developing world and between North and South. The
Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies and the
Institute of Women's Studies will alternate in welcoming one visiting
scholar per year. However, both Institutes look forward to the
opportunity of engaging with the Visiting Scholar.

Applications are invited for the 2008-2009 Visiting Scholar in
Feminist Perspectives on Globalization to be based at the Pauline
Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies at Carleton University
. (In 2009-2010, the Visiting Scholar will be based at the University
of Ottawa Institute of Women's Studies.) The position is open to
scholars from developing countries (both tenured and untenured
faculty, as well as post-doctoral or independent scholars) who are
pursuing critical feminist research.

Applicants must be fluent in English have a completed PhD, a record of
scholarly publications, and a current and established research project
in relation to one or more of the research fields listed below.
Individuals currently pursuing a university doctoral degree are not
eligible.

The focus of the Feminist Perspectives on Globalization programme is
on the broad area of the "rights." The theme of Feminist Perspectives
on Globalization targets rights and citizenship of women and girls in
a globalized context. This focus on citizenship is conceptualized
broadly as an interdisciplinary inquiry whereby investigators explore
the multiple layers of citizenship through matrices of social power in
its various cultural, national and transnational contexts. Some areas
of interest include the gendered dimensions of citizenship and rights
in the following thematic areas: peace, conflict and reconstruction;
migration; health; education; environment; and economic security. The
continuation of the Visiting Scholar program with a focus on
citizenship and globalization is a timely and important initiative.

During their stay in Canada, the Visiting Scholar will pursue and
present their ongoing research in conferences and seminars as
requested, participate in outreach activities, and produce a paper
based on their ongoing research which reflects their time and work in
Canada. It is anticipated that this research will promote policy
advocacy and/or further gender and development studies and the
effective integration of gender equality into development policy and
programming.

The duration of the Visiting Scholar's stay will be a six (6) month
period within the university's 2008-2009 academic year, which runs
from September 2008 to April 2009. The recipient will receive a
generous stipend to cover travel, research and living expenses
(including medical insurance coverage). The successful applicant will
have access to library services, a shared phone and computer facilities.

Applications may be submitted in English or in French, and must
include: an abbreviated curriculum vitae (10-12 pp.); a letter of
intent outlining the research to be undertaken in Canada (max. 2 pp.);
a list of recent publications; availability during the 2008-2009
academic year; and the names and addresses (postal and e-mail) of two
referees. Please forward applications to: Selection Committee,
Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization, c/o Hélène
Boudreault, Institute of Women's Studies, University of Ottawa, 143
Séraphin-Marion, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6; Telephone (613)
520-6644; Fax (613) 562-5994; email hboudre@uottawa.ca.

The closing date for submitting applications is July 15, 2008
(application dossiers received after this date will not be examined).
Please note that only the short-listed candidates will be contacted.

Le Centre de recherches pour le développement international (CRDI) -

Université d'Ottawa - Université Carleton


Chercheur(e) invité(e) en perspectives féministes sur la mondialisation


Année scolaire 2008-2009

Le Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies de
l'Université Carleton et l'Institut d'études des femmes de
l'Université d'Ottawa, avec le concours du Centre de recherches pour
le développement international (CRDI), désirent lancer la Phase Deux
du programme de recherche en perspectives féministes sur la
mondialisation. D'une durée de deux ans (2008-2010), la Phase Deux de
ce programme s'adresse aux chercheur-e-s de haut calibre provenant de
pays en développement (Afrique, Amérique latine, Caraïbes, Asie, Sud
du Pacifique ou Moyen Orient), déjà impliqués dans des projets sur les
rapports sociaux de sexe (genre) et le développement, et intéressé-e-s
à poursuivre leurs travaux à Ottawa (Canada), dans l'une des deux
universités précitées. Plus encore, il constitue une occasion unique
pour resserrer les liens de collaboration entre chercheur-e-s
féministes du Nord et du Sud, mais aussi entre les instituts d'études
des femmes de l'Université d'Ottawa et de l'Université Carleton.
Alternativement, chaque institut accueillera un-e chercheur-e par
année. Toutefois, les deux collectivités universitaires auront le
plaisir de pouvoir échanger avec les chercheur-e-s invité-e-s.

Au cours de l'année scolaire 2008-2009, la ou le chercheur-e invité-e
sera basé-e à la Carleton University et devra donc être fonctionnel-le
en anglais. (En 2009-2010, la ou le chercheur-e invité-e sera basé-e à
l'Institut d'études des femmes de l'Université d'Ottawa.) Le Pauline
Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies de l'Université
Carleton et l'Institut d'études des femmes de l'Université d'Ottawa
sollicitent des candidatures de professeur-e-s-chercheur-e-s
universitaires (avec ou sans permanence) ainsi que de chercheur-e-s
postdoctoraux autonomes féministes issu-e-s des pays en développement
ciblés par le présent programme.

En plus de devoir parler, lire et écrire l'anglais couramment, les
candidat-e-s devront remplir les exigences suivantes : un doctorat
complété, des publications dans des revues savantes, un programme de
recherche bien établi et en lien avec l'un et/ou l'autre des axes de
recherche ci-dessus mentionnés. Les individus qui ne détiennent pas un
diplôme de doctorat, y compris celles et ceux inscrit-e-s dans un
programme de formation universitaire, ne sont pas admissibles.

La Phase Deux du programme de chercheur-e invité-e en perspectives
féministes sur la mondialisation aura pour focus le domaine de
recherche assez large que sont « les droits ». Le thème des
Perspectives féministes sur la mondialisation ciblera les droits et la
citoyenneté des femmes et des filles dans un contexte mondialisé. Ce
focus sur la citoyenneté est conceptualisé dans une recherche
interdisciplinaire à travers laquelle les chercheur-e-s exploreront
les multiples paliers de la citoyenneté à travers les structures de
pouvoir social dans ses nombreux contextes : culturel, national et
transnational. Les domaines d'intérêt peuvent comprendre par exemple,
la dimension- différenciée selon les sexes -de la citoyenneté et des
droits dans les champs thématiques suivants : paix; conflit et
reconstruction; migration; santé; éducation; environnement; et
sécurité économique. La Phase Deux du programme de chercheur-e
invité-e avec focus sur la citoyenneté et la mondialisation est une
initiative importante et d'actualité.

Durant son séjour au Canada, la ou le chercheur-e invité-e poursuivra
son projet de recherche en cours et présentera, à la demande, ses
résultats dans le cadre de conférences et de séminaires. En outre,
elle ou il participera à des activités de réseautage et produira un
rapport faisant état des progrès accomplis au cours de la période
couverte par sa bourse. Ce rapport de recherche devra contribuer à la
promotion des politiques sur l'égalité des sexes dans le développement
ainsi qu'à leur intégration dans les programmes de développement,
et/ou susciter de nouvelles études sur les rapports sociaux de sexe
(genre) et le développement.

La ou le récipiendaire séjournera à Ottawa pendant une période de six
mois allant de septembre 2008 à avril 2009 grâce à une bourse
généreuse couvrant ses frais de voyage, de recherche et de subsistance
(y compris une couverture d'assurance médicale obligatoire). La ou le
chercheur-e invité-e aura également droit aux services bibliothécaires
ainsi qu'un accès partagé (avec d'autres chercheur-e-s) à un téléphone
et à un ordinateur.

Les candidatures, soumises en anglais ou en français, doivent inclure
un dossier comprenant (i) un curriculum vitae abrégé (max. 10-12
pages), (ii) une lettre d'intention décrivant le projet de recherche
qui sera entrepris au Canada (max. 2 pages), (iii) une liste des plus
récentes publications, (iv) les dates de séjour suggérées, et (v) le
nom de deux répondant-e-s. Veuillez faire parvenir votre dossier
complet au : Comité de sélection de la ou du chercheur-e invité-e en
perspectives féministes sur la mondialisation, a/s Hélène Boudreault,
Institut d'études des femmes, Université d'Ottawa, 143
Séraphin-Marion, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5.

La date de clôture du concours est le 15 juillet 2008 (aucun dossier
reçu après cette date ne sera examiné). Seul-e-s les candidat-e-s de
la liste courte seront contacté-e-s.

5 year postdoc China Studies

* University of Technology Sydney, China Research Centre
* 5 year fixed term contract

*Postdoctoral Fellowships*

The China Research Centre at UTS is Australia's most productive and
dynamic unit researching social and cultural change in China. Building
on our history in promoting studies of Provincial China, we now expand
our focus to explore the key issues of China's development in the
twenty-first century:

* Environment, Space and Resource Use
* Health and Disease
* Business and Enterprise Reform

We are assembling dynamic teams of researchers to examine how China
faces challenges in these areas. In addition to making a number of
strategic senior appointments we invite applications for a number of
5-year Postdoctoral Fellowships.

In the first round we seek applicants keen to contribute to
international knowledge on the three areas above.
The Centre has an outstanding reputation for collaborative research
leadership in China Studies, including the ARC Asia Pacific Futures
Research Network and the annual Provincial China Symposia.

The Centre takes a collaborative approach to research that recognizes
the need to disaggregate social and cultural change in China by
locality, class and gender. Centre staff work regularly together on
collective projects, publications and symposia.

This is an opportunity for the best and brightest early career
researchers to work on issues of pressing global concern from a China focus.

Fellows will initially be appointed at Lecturer Level B. Salary range as
at 1 May 2008 is $70,309 to $83,474 per annum. The University offers
salary packaging plus 17% employer superannuation contribution.

*Application Procedure:*

When you have prepared your application, please submit via the 'Careers
at UTS' online application system on link above.

Postdoctoral fellowship

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP (2)
DOCTORAL STUDENTSHIP (1)
Anthropology, Science & Technology Studies

The Technoscience and Regulation Research Unit at Dalhousie University is
engaged in multi-sited ethnographic studies which critically examine the
relationship between the biosciences, industry, policy, and citizens. Our work
is located in laboratories (public and private, developed and developing
countries) where molecules begin to become medicines, biotechnological and
pharmaceutical corporate offices, or government regulatory agencies. Our
research team (led by Dr. Janice Graham, a medical anthropologist and Canada
Research Chair) invites disciplinary diversity including anthropologists and
sociologists of medicine, science and technology, molecular biologists,
political scientists, bioethicists, lawyers and historians of regulation.

Candidates for the two-year postdoctoral positions should have a completed PhD
in a relevant discipline. We expect the project to focus on actor-network
cultures in laboratory, regulatory and other technoscience settings.
Specifics,
including date of commencement, are negotiable as determined by the expertise
and interests of the successful applicant.

As funding is also available for a doctoral studentship, we welcome
prospective
doctoral students interested in working in this area of research to
contact us.

Candidates should send: (1) a curriculum vitae; (2) a statement of short- and
long-term career goals that includes identification of ongoing research
interests and suggested projects; (3) name, affiliation and contact
information
for 3 referees; (4) writing samples; and (5) university transcripts, to:

Andrea D'Sylva, Research Coordinator
Technoscience and Regulation Research Unit
Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University
5849 University Avenue, Room C315
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Canada B3H 4H7

For further information, contact adsylva@dal.ca.
Applications will be accepted until July 1, 2008 or until a suitable candidate
has been found. The anticipated start date of September 1, 2008 is negotiable.
