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.

Applicants should supply the program administrator, Ms. Larysa
Iarovenko, with a completed application form (see in the attachment)
along with
*a two-page description of their research proposal
*a curriculum vitae
*and two letters of reference. Applicants may submit them
electronically or by fax, however the originals must
be also sent by mail

In the letter of application, they should indicate the proposed length
of stay and the approximate starting date.
The deadline for applications is March 14, 2003. Materials may be
supplied electronically.
