Visiting Faculty Fellowships | 2007/2008

 

The University of Toronto's new Centre for Ethics invites applications 
for its Visiting Faculty Fellowships. For the academic year 2007-08, two 
fellowships will be awarded to outstanding scholars and teachers 
interested in writing and conducting research about ethics during a year 
in residence at the University of Toronto.

Fellows will participate in a bi-weekly seminar at the Centre, together 
with local faculty as well as the Centre's graduate and post-doctoral 
fellows.

Although regular teaching obligations are not attached to the 
Fellowships, we expect fellows to have some involvement in the 
undergraduate Ethics, Society and Law Program. Fellows are also expected 
to participate regularly in the Centre's other activities, including 
seminars, colloquia, and public lectures; and to be in residence in 
Toronto for the term of their appointments, which will run from 
September 1, 2007 to May 15, 2008.

Faculty fellows will receive stipends intended to help maintain their 
salary during the fellowship year at its usual level. Stipends will 
normally amount to up to one half of the fellow's academic year salary, 
up to a maximum of C$ 50, 000. In addition, fellows will receive a 
research allowance; an office in the Centre, equipped with a computer; 
and access to library and other University facilities. Their home 
institution is expected to provide at least half of their salaries, in 
addition to all benefits. Fellows between regular academic appointments 
are eligible for funding to be determined on an individual basis.

Fellows are selected by a faculty committee in the Centre for Ethics.

Applicants are judged on the quality of their achievements in their 
field of specialization and their ability to benefit from work in the 
Centre; the contributions they are likely to make in the future in 
higher education through teaching and writing about ethics; and the 
probable significance of their proposed research and its relevance to 
the purposes of the Centre.

Applicants must hold a university faculty appointment at the time of 
application. There is no restriction on discipline or citizenship.

For fellowships beginning in September 2007, applicants must submit hard 
copies of:

1. A curriculum vitae;

2. A scholarly paper in English written or published in the past three 
years (no more than 10, 000 words; on longer papers, applicants must 
indicate their own excerpt); 3. A statement (no more than 1,500 words) 
describing the proposed research project; 4. Three letters of reference 
(at least one from someone who was not a dissertation supervisor) sent 
directly to the Director, Centre for Ethics at the address below.

All materials, including letters of reference, must be received by 
January 15, 2007. Successful applicants will be asked to provide salary 
information on a confidential basis to the Centre's Director.

Please send applications to: Professor Melissa Williams (Director), 
Centre for Ethics, University of Toronto, 6 Hoskin Avenue, Toronto, 
Ontario Canada  M5S 1H8.
