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 2009-2010.

Deadline: March 1, 2010

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;

Eligibility:

The Fellowship is open to junior scholars in the social sciences and
humanities with a teaching and research focus on contemporary Ukraine. The
successful candidate must have completed his/her PhD not more than three
years prior to the start of the fellowship period and before taking up the
Fellowship. There are no restrictions with respect to citizenship.

Fellowship tenure:

The Centre will make one appointment for the calendar year of twelve months
beginning July 2008.

Funding:

The Fellowship holder will receive $40,000 Canadian funds plus an allowance
for research and travel expenses;
