Post-doctoral fellowships (non-stipendiary)

We are currently not offering Post-doctorial fellowships (non-stipendiary). 

Purpose

The Post-Doctoral Fellowship is offered as a means for providing institutional support to academics with post-doctoral funding whose research falls within the broadly defined areas of the centre’s mandate.

Topics

The centre welcomes applications from all disciplinary backgrounds for projects that meet its mandate of promoting the scholarly study of religion in relation to any and all aspects of society and culture, both contemporary and historical. Topics may include, but are not limited to, examinations of religious themes within the areas of ethics, health, law, environment, technology, government and public policy, human conflict, art, literature, the media, and currents and debates in philosophy and the natural sciences.

Eligibility

The fellowships are available to any member of the academic community at UVic or other university who is awarded post-doctoral funding from SSHRC, CIHR or an equivalent granting body. Fellowship applications may be submitted in conjunction with post-doc funding applications, or after confirmation of funding has been received. The fellowship will take effect upon approval of post-doctoral funding.

Value

This is a non-stipendiary appointment. The fellowship includes office space at the centre with access to wireless Internet, copying and fax services, a centre mailbox and 番茄社区 library privileges.
