(with apologies for cross-posting) @McGill offers Postdoctoral Fellowships to promising scholars engaging in media-related research, as defined in Media@McGill’s mission statement. Fellows are provided with a workspace, and are expected to take an active role in the research activities and academic life of Media@McGill (participation in conferences, seminars, etc.). They may also have the possibility of teaching a course within the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill. Eligibility: The Media@McGill Postdoctoral Fellowship is open to both national and international scholars who completed their doctoral degrees in a university other than McGill no earlier than June 1, 2009. Fluency in English is essential; working knowledge of French is an asset. Value and Duration: The stipend for the Media@McGill Postdoctoral Fellowship is $42,000 CAD for 12 months, beginning in the first week of September. Application Process: For 2013-14, Media@McGill will be offering one Postdoctoral Fellowship. In a cover letter, applicants must stipulate how their research is related to Media@McGill’s mission statement and to Media@McGill’s 2013-14 theme: Participatory Media. Applicants should also identify a potential faculty supervisor who is a member of Media@McGill and whose research is closely tied to that of the applicant. The following should be included in all applications: § a cover letter; § a research proposal (750 words); § a Curriculum Vitae (maximum 5 pages); § official copies of transcripts during graduate studies; § 3 letters of recommendation (including one by the Media@McGill faculty supervisor); § a writing sample (maximum 20 pages). Deadline: Complete applications should be sent [log in to unmask] by March 28, 2013 at 5 p.m. E.S.T.
