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.

Deadline: March 1, 2010

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.

CERES pays round-trip airfare (at APEX rates), gives a stipend for living
(typically $1,500 CDN per month), and provides shared office space and
access to the university library as well as assists in arranging housing at
a reasonable cost. Housing and other related living expenses are to be
covered by the stipend.
