CIUS Postdoctoral Fellowships 2021-2022

Although all applications in fields associated with the humanities and social sciences will be considered, research proposals in the areas of identities, nationalism, regions, borders, social values, and historical politics and memory will be given preference.

To qualify, applicants must have received a PhD (or Candidate of Sciences degree from Ukraine or another post-Soviet country) within the past five years at the time of application. Applicants who are scheduled to receive their degree by the end of June 2021 are also eligible to apply, if they submit confirmatory documents. The successful applicant will be expected to take up the post-doctoral appointment at CIUS from 1 September 2021, but no later than 30 September 2021. In addition to working on a research project, the Bayduza Research Fellow will assist and participate in the overall program planning and activities of CIUS.

The Bayduza Research Fellow will also have the option to be co-hosted at the University of Alberta by one of the following departments: Anthropology, History and Classics, Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, Political Science, and Sociology. A co-hosting department would offer engagement via colloquia, mentorship, and other academic initiatives. An opportunity to teach a course in one of the departments may also be considered. (Visit: www.ualberta.ca/arts/departments.)

This competition is open to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, and foreign nationals. The duration of the fellowship is for one year and the annual stipend is C$38,000. In addition to the stipend, the award includes economy airfare to and from Edmonton, and supplemental health benefits. An additional C$2,000 is available for research-related expenses. Recipients of the Bayduza Fellowship may not hold another fellowship concurrently.

The Bayduza Fellowship is funded by Dr. Jeanette Bayduza.
