Joseph L. Rotman Institute of Science and Values, The Visiting Fellows Program
Visiting Fellowships are open to scholars with a PhD. degree pursuing a research project that engages contemporary science from ethical, epistemological, or historical perspectives. The Visiting Fellows will have no formal duties, but they will be expected to participate actively in the intellectual community of the Rotman Institute. Each fellow will be asked to give a talk describing their research project, and they are encouraged to participate in the many reading groups, seminars, talks, and other ongoing projects at the Rotman Institute. They are required to reside in London, Ontario during the Fellowship and to make regular use of their office at the Rotman Institute.
Visiting Fellows will be provided with an office, computer, full library access, and minimal office support. They will be paid a supplementary stipend of $1,000 - 1,300 per month. They can participate in the activities of the Department of Philosophy including colloquia and graduate seminars (with instructor permission). The University of Western Ontario’s Department of Philosophy is one of the most distinguished departments in Canada.
