Petro Jacyk Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Ukrainian Politics, Culture, and Society, 2011-2012
Deadline: March 1, 2011
The Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (CERES) at the University of Toronto is accepting applications for the Petro Jacyk Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Ukrainian Politics, Culture, and Society for the year 2010-2011. The objective of the Post-Doctoral Fellowship is to support on an annual basis one of the most promising junior scholars studying contemporary Ukraine and thereby to advance academic understanding of Ukrainian politics, culture, and society. The Fellowship is made possible by generous support of the Petro Jacyk Education Foundation.
- Description:
The Fellowship has both research and teaching components. The successful candidate will spend most of the Fellowship period in residence at the University of Toronto, based at the Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (CERES). While at CERES, the Fellow will be expected to devote his/her time to preparation of his/her dissertation for publication and/or to start a new research project. The Fellow will work closely with an appointed research supervisor and participate in activities of the Petro Jacyk Program for the Study of Ukraine. These include guest lectures, workshops and conferences, and other events. In addition to research, he/she is expected to teach a one semester course (seminar or lecture) that deals with contemporary Ukraine (possibly from an interdisciplinary and/or comparative perspective). The Fellow will also be expected to spend a period of time in Ukraine (normally 6-8 weeks and preferably, but not necessarily, in May-June of the fellowship period) based at the National University of Kyiv–Mohyla Academy, where she/he may conduct research and participate in the academic life of the institution. By the end of fellowship year, the Fellow is expected to have a publication (a book manuscript based on a dissertation or an occasional paper from a new research project) ready for submission and provide a report of his/her activities to the Director of CERES. The Fellow should acknowledge Petro Jacyk Post-Doctoral Fellowship in all publications, lectures, and any other activities supported by the program;

VISITING SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Deadline: March 1, 2011
The Program 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 also 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; problems of democratization; education, culture and national identity; and foreign policy and international relations.
