More Information regarding Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Department of Philosophy at Queen’s University has established a
postdoctoral fellowship program in “Democracy and Diversity”, funded in part
by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. The program will run from
2005-2008. Each year, one non-renewable 12-month fellowship will be awarded,
working under the supervision of Prof. Will Kymlicka.

The fellowship is part of a larger nexus of activities at Queen’s relating
to the normative and empirical study of democracy and diversity, including
the Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy (directed by Prof. Kymlicka); the
Research Group on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship
(www.queensu.ca/politics/rgonemc); the Fulbright Visiting Professorship in
Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship; the Centre for the
Study of Democracy; and the Institute of Intergovernmental Relations – all
of which have active programs of workshops, conferences and visiting
scholars and speakers. The Fellow would be expected to participate in these
various activities as appropriate, including presentation of his or her
research findings, and to assist Prof. Kymlicka in the Forum’s activities.
The Fellow would also be expected to do some teaching (two half-courses).

While “Democracy and Diversity” is to be understood expansively, and there
are no pre-determined limits on the topics it may cover, Queen’s has a
special expertise in issues of ethnocultural diversity. Recent and ongoing
activities have covered such topics as immigration and citizenship,
multiculturalism and multicultural education, indigenous rights, affirmative
action, historic injustice, nationalism and secession, language rights, and
transnational democracy. Applicants who combine normative analysis with
empirical case studies are particularly welcome.

If you have any questions about the postdoctoral program, please contact
Prof. Kymlicka at: kymlicka@post.queensu.ca.
