Studies at Carleton University. *
Applications are invited for the Stipendiary and Non-Stipendiary Visiting
Scholars Programme of the School of Canadian Studies at Carleton University
in Ottawa. Visiting scholars will be provided with office space, computer
facilities and access to the Carleton University library. They will be
expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the School, will be
invited to give guest lectures and encouraged to mentor graduate students.
Stipendiary Visiting scholars will also be offered $6000.00 to lead a
semester-long graduate seminar on a topic related to their area of research.
Visiting Scholar positions are available for periods between one month and
one academic year (Stipendiary Visiting Scholars must stay for a period of
at least four months between September and April).
Applications are welcome from scholars in any discipline, from Canada or
abroad, who will conduct research on Canada during their stay. Preference
will be given to university faculty members, but applications from doctoral
and postdoctoral students will also be considered.
Carleton's School of Canadian Studies is the oldest of its kind in Canada,
and offers both a Master of Arts program and the only Canadian Studies
doctoral programme in the country (jointly with Trent University). Our main
interdisciplinary research areas are Aboriginal Studies and the North,
Gender Studies, Canadian Cultural Studies and Cultural Policy, Heritage
Conservation and Québec Studies. The School's location in Canada's capital
provides unparalleled resources for Canadianists, including the National
Library, the National Gallery, the National Archives, the Museum of
Civilization, the War Museum, the Supreme Court of Canada, and Parliament
Hill. In addition, most national organizations have their headquarters in
Ottawa, offering other possibilities for research.
Applications must be sent to canadian_studies@carleton.ca no later than 1
February 2010. Applications should include an up-to-date CV and a cover
letter presenting the broad lines of the research project. For stipendiary
applications, a brief description of the proposed thirteen-week seminar
should also be included. Results will be announced in March for the academic
year beginning on 1 September 2010. (Stipends are subjects to budgetary
approval).
