The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto invites applications for a Rebanks Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in New World Archaeology

FYI

The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto invites applications for a Rebanks
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in New World Archaeology. A two-year
fellowship with a grant of $50,000 a year, the Rebanks Fellowship
program provides Canadian citizens or Canadian landed immigrants who
have obtained their doctorate in the last five years the opportunity
to pursue their research with the support of one of Canada's leading
research institutions. The Rebanks Research Fellowship in New World
archaeology is open to scholars working on any indigenous culture of
the Americas. We seek applicants with significant research potential
whose work complements the Royal Ontario Museum's existing strengths
in archaeology. Museum experience is also preferred, as the Fellow
would have some collection and exhibit responsibilities. Publication
opportunities are available to Rebanks Fellows through the publishing
arm of the Museum. Candidates should submit a letter of application
detailing their research project, curriculum vitae, and the names of
three references to: Department Head, Department of World Cultures,
Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2C6,
Canada. Application materials must be received by March 16, 2009 for
consideration. Only Canadians citizens or Canadian landed immigrants
who have received their Ph.D. after 2003 are eligible for the
position. We especially encourage applications from women and members
of minority groups.
