Postdoctoral Visiting Fellowship at CISRUL

Trevor Stack Discussion

POSTDOCTORAL VISITING FELLOWSHIP at CISRUL

Deadline: 14 March 2014

The Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (www.abdn.ac.uk/cisrul) at the University of Aberdeen invites applications for a 4-week postdoctoral Visiting Fellowship in June 2014, in the run-up to our Political Community workshop on 24-27 June (http://wp.me/PASsb-45).

The Fellowship will include accommodation and subsistence for up to 4 weeks, as well as travel (up to £750).

We would expect the Fellow to be in residence from 1 June (or soon after) until the end of the workshop on 27 June (or soon after). The Fellow would give a seminar paper on a topic of interest to CISRUL (see website) and then a paper at the 24-27 June Political Community workshop (see CfP). In addition, we would expect the Fellow to join CISRUL members for discussion on a regular basis. The Fellow will not be required to do any teaching.

Please send the following to langlit.school@abdn.ac.uk:

1. CV (the applicant should have a PhD in hand)

2. 200-400 word abstract for the June workshop (http://wp.me/PASsb-45)

3. 200-400 word abstract of a seminar paper that you could offer to CISRUL while in residence.

4. One published or unpublished article or chapter on a relevant topic (maximum 9000 words).

In your email, please indicate whether you would like to be considered for the 24-27 June workshop only, in the event that your Fellowship application is not successful. Funding is available (see http://wp.me/PASsb-45). Those who have already submitted abstracts for the workshop are welcome to apply for the Fellowship.

CISRUL is also keen to host at any time postdoctoral fellows with their own funding. For example, we would be happy to support outstanding applicants from outside the UK for a Newton Fellowship (http://www.newtonfellowships.org/) or for a Marie Curie Fellowship (http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/about-mca/actions/iif/index_en.htm).
