Stipendiary and Non-Stipendiary Visiting Scholar Programme in Canadian 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 at least $6000.00 (slightly more, depending on
current rates) 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, or contact the Director of the
School, no later than 1 February for the upcoming academic year. 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).
