Petro Jacyk Visiting Scholars
Program
The Centre for Russian and East European Studies (CREES)
invites
applications from scholars in Ukraine (and Ukrainianists outside
of
Canada) for appointments as a Petro Jacyk Visiting Scholar at
the
University of Toronto. The prospective candidates spend four to
six
weeks in Toronto conducting research and interacting with
Canadian
scholars. They are expected to present a seminar on their work and
to
take part in relevant scholarly events. In exceptional
circumstances,
arrangements may be made for them to teach. Visits will be
scheduled
during the sessions of the university, that is, between September
and
April.
Petro Jacyk Visiting Scholar positions are open to scholars
working in
the social sciences and humanities, including recent PhD or
kandydat
degree recipients. To support the new generation of young
Ukrainian
scholars, the Program introduces "young scholar" category for those
who
are under 35 and have not yet received their doctorate.
Especially
attractive are applicants whose work relates to the current
thematic
focus of the program - "Challenges of Independent Ukraine". This
focus
includes Ukraine's state- and institution- building, law and
governance;
education, culture and national identity; and foreign policy
and
international relations.
CREES pays round-trip airfare (at APEX
rates), gives a stipend for
living (typically $1,500 CDN per month), and
provides shared office
space and access to the university library as well as
assists in
arranging housing at a reasonable cost. Housing and other related
living
expenses are to be covered by the stipend.
