University of Ottawa Seeks Applicants for a Visiting Scholar in Womens Studies

The Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies at the University of Ottawa in Canada recently announced that it is seeking applicants for the Bank of Montreal Visiting Scholar in Women’s Studies. The position will be funded through the 2018-2019 academic year. The ideal candidate is a highly-qualified researcher who specializes in feminist, women’s, or gender issues. If accepted, applicants should expect their stay at the university to last between three and six months during the school year which begins in September and ends in April. The compensation package includes $4,000, which can be used to supplement research and/or travel expenses. However, any applicants who already possess alternative funding will also be considered. As a condition for accepting the funding, the Visiting Scholar will be required to present their research project(s) in conferences and/or seminars. She or he will also be expected to engage with students and colleagues.

Who can apply for this position? The Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies welcomes applications from both Canadian and non-Canadian scholars. Applicants may be either tenured or untenured, and the Institute also encourages applications from post-doctoral or independent scholars who are pursuing critical feminist research. However, only candidates with a Ph.D. will be considered for the position.

To apply for the position, individuals must submit several pieces of documentation. These include a letter of intent and a curriculum vitae. Additionally, applicants must include a detailed statement of their research project, which cannot be longer than two pages.
