New Post-Doc Program

Postdoctoral Scholarship Program 

In order to welcome postdoctoral scholars, the Canada Research Chair >
on Globalization, Citizenship and 
Democracy (Chaire MCD) at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) >
has created a postdoctoral 
scholarship program. Like the Chaire MCD itself, this program is >
driven by a spirit of collaboration, 
multidisciplinary opening and high-level scientific exchange. 
 
Scholarship Description: 
The Chaire MCD offers 10,000$CAD six (6) month and 5,000$CAD three >
(3) month postdoctoral 
scholarships. These amounts aim to cover the scholar's installation >
cost and living expenses for the period of 
her/his stay. 
If necessary, an additional amount could also be allocated for the >
scholar's transportation (two-way flight 
ticket) upon presentation of a proof of purchase. 
During the internship, the postdoctoral scholar will have access to >
a fully equipped office space with all the 
needed computer equipment (i.e. computer, internet link, intranet, >
laser printer). The Chaire MCD also offers 
office services (copy and fax machines). 
The selection committee reserves the right to set the amount of the >
scholarship on the basis of the internship 
project according to the Chaire MCD's research objectives and of the >
budget's availability. 
 
Admission Requirements: 
- The candidate must hold a doctorate degree (PhD) in a university >
other than UQAM and to satisfy 
UQAM's postdoctoral internship requirements. 
- The candidate must be familiar with the20Chaire MCD's research >
objectives and guidelines . The candidate must also provide her/his >
resume and an internship 
project (1 to 2 pages) describing her/his research plans as well as >
the envisaged period of the stay. 
- The Chaire MCD favours a multidisciplinary approach; therefore, >
the scholarship is open to 
applications from all fields of scientific knowledge. These >
applications are evaluated strictly on the 
basis of their relevance to the Chaire MCD's current research. 
- A good command of French is required. 

Selection Procedure: 
A selection committee composed of the Chair Holder, the Research >
Directors and the Coordinator evaluate 
each candidacy. 
The selected candidates will be contacted during the month following >
the application deadline in order to 
confirm the internship research program and the period of the stay. 
The chosen intern will be responsible for obtaining a proper permit >
for his/her stay. 

Application Deadline: 
There is one selection period each year. The application deadline is >
June 15th.

Canada Research Chair on Globalization, Citizenship and Democracy (MCD)
The principal objective of the MCD Chair is to produce a general
theory of the new political regulations in developed democratic
societies. Research focuses on the transformations of the different
institutional realms characterizing modern societies and in the
emergence of new forms of citizenship, political community, democracy,
and social justice. The study of these transformations is approached
through various forms of representation (philosophical basis, social
discourse, political discourse, expert discourse). Studies are
structured around four main themes: democracy and market economy in
the Americas; ethics and politics in pluralist societies; the State
and new forms of political regulation; financialization and mutations
of capitalism.

L'objectif de la Chaire du Canada en Mondialisation, citoyenneté et
démocratie (MCD) est de comprendre les défis que pose la
mondialisation à la capacité de « faire société », c'est-à-dire, dans
la modernité démocratique, l'autoproduction explicite de la société
par la d=C
3libération, le conflit et la production d'institutions. Purement
immanentes sur le plan de la représentation qu'elles ont d'elles-mêmes
comme issues de la volonté libre d'individus co-associés, les
démocraties modernes se sont toutefois épanouies dans le cadre de
l'État-nation, où s'articulent l'abstraction universalisable de la
citoyenneté et la substance identitaire de la communauté politique
nécessaire à l'engagement du citoyen. C'est ce lien noué entre la
démocratie et l'identité collective, entre la citoyenneté et la nation
que rend problématique la mondialisation récente. De façon générale,
la Chaire s'efforce de penser la communauté politique qui paraît
aujourd'hui menacée par un double danger : le risque d'une sortie vers
l'abstraction universelle portée par le cosmopolitisme d'une part et,
d'autre part, la tendance à la fragmentation du demos dans des
sociétés d'individus. Le travail de théorisation et de réflexion sur
le lien nécessaire, ou pas, entre demos et démocratie, s'effectue en
privilégiant l'étude des enjeux de la citoyenneté et de la démocratie
au Québec dans une analyse comparative avec les sociétés d'Amérique,
de la francophonie et les « petites sociétés ».

Les unités de recherche de la Chaire MCD sont :
 Groupe de
recherche en analyse du discours politique (GRADiP)
 Collectif d'analyse sur la financiarisation du capitalisme avancé (CAFCA)
 Centre ATO : Centre d'analyse de texte par ordinateur de l'UQAM

Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus to Shakespeare's King Lear. Stephen

Joseph Yvon Thériault

Is Canada Really a Cosmopolitan Society?

Is cosmopolitanism incompatible with the idea of nationhood,

and perhaps even with the idea of society? Over 40 years ago,

in Lament for a Nation, Georges P. Grant pronounced the
theoretical impossibility of Canada in the face of continental

integration and the advent of the technological age. Since

this pessimistic statement was penned, Canada has evolved in

the exact directions that Grant perceived as the root of its impossibility.

Paradoxically, a number of contemporary analysts

of Canadian and even Quebec society see these transformations

as ingredients in a new Canadian identity that set it apart

even from the United States. Eminent sociology professor and

Trudeau Fellow, Joseph Yvon Thériault, will draw on the central
questions raised by Grant to trace the evolution of this

country for this special Trudeau Foundation-Federation Research
in Society lecture.
The lecture will take place in French, with a bilingual question

and answer period to follow. Simultaneous translation and a

lunch will be provided, courtesy of the Trudeau Foundation.

Over 2,200 delegates will be making the Residences their home during Congress.

 A major temporary Congress signage system will be installed to help
the delegates navigate through the campus.

 Many staff and faculty will be wearing blue "Ask Me" buttons to
assist our visitors.

 Building lobbies will have ambassadors to help delegates find their
seminar rooms.

Instructional Media Services staff will be wearing distinctive green
golf shirts, for easy identification.

A "Beer Garden" will be set up in the Quad and a Wine Bar will open in
the  Loeb Building.

A full program of musical entertainment and cultural events has been
planned.  A "Portraits on Campus" exhibition has been installed on the
exterior Library wall opposite Southam Hall.
