McGill University, Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies, Visiting Professor
Oct 28, 2014 → Dec 12, 2014
The Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies (IGSF) at McGill University in Montreal invites applications for the position of Visiting Professor. These non-salaried positions are open to professors who wish to spend one or two academic terms in a university environment in order to carry out research on gender, sexuality or feminist studies. The Visiting Professor positions are ideal for faculty with research leave funding, a portable research fellowship, or sabbatical. The Institute offers work space and support, an ongoing seminar program, contact with other professors within McGill and in neighbouring universities - all this located at the centre of a stimulating, bilingual, urban environment.
Research funding in the amounts of $1,000 and $5,000 (for the Muriel Gold Senior Visiting Professor position) is available. Preference will be given to professors who already hold faculty positions.
If interested, please send a proposal that describes in 1-2 pages the research that would be undertaken while in residence as a Visiting Professor, a copy of a recent publication, an up-to-date curriculum vitae and an indication of what period you would like for your tenure as IGSF Visiting Professor to:
