Call for applications : Postdoctoral fellowships

The Centre de Recherche en Ethique de l'Universite de Montréal (CREUM) is
pleased to announce its postdoctoral fellowships program for the academic
year 2005-2006. Postdoctoral fellowships can be held for various lengths of
time, but in no case can they exceed one year.

Successful applicants will receive a stipend of $ 2 900 CAN per month, a
workstation at the CREUM, access to the infrastructure of the University of
Montreal (libraries, sport center, etc), as well as assistance for finding
accommodation. In return, selected candidates commit themselves to conduct
their research project within the framework of the activities organized by
the Center (workshops, seminars and conferences) in a mostly francophone
environment.

CREUM's mission is to contribute to interdisciplinary research and education
in theoretical and applied ethics. We encourage applications from various
disciplines, provided that the subject of the candidates' research is
directly related to ethical problems (among others, but not exclusively:
fundamental ethics, normative dimensions of professional ethics, public
policies and social practices in fields such as health, law, management of
human and natural environment, trade, social and cultural diversity, etc).

The deadline for the applications is 30 April, 2005.

NEW POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN DEMOCRACY AND DIVERSITY

A new postdoctoral fellowship program in "Democracy and Diversity" has been
established at Queen's University, funded in part by the Canadian Institute for
Advanced Research. The program will run from 2005-2008. Each year, one
non-renewable 12-month fellowship will be awarded, working under the supervision
of Prof. Will Kymlicka.

The fellowship is part of a larger nexus of activities at Queen's
relating to the normative and empirical study of democracy and diversity,
including the Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy; the Research Group on
Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship
(www.queensu.ca/politics/rgonemc); the Fulbright Visiting Professorship in
Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship; the Centre for the Study
of Democracy; and the Institute of Intergovernmental Relations - all of which
have active programs of workshops, conferences and visiting scholars and
speakers. The Fellow would be expected to participate in these various
activities as appropriate, including presentation of his or her research
findings, and to assist Prof. Kymlicka in the Forum's activities. The Fellow
would also be expected to do some teaching (two half-courses). While "Democracy
and Diversity" is to be understood expansively, and there are no pre-determined
limits on the topics it may cover, Queen's has a special expertise in issues of
ethnocultural diversity. Recent and ongoing activities have covered such topics
as immigration and citizenship, multiculturalism and multicultural education,
indigenous rights, affirmative action, historic injustice, nationalism and
secession, language rights, and transnational democracy. Applicants who combine
normative analysis with empirical case studies are particularly welcome.
