The Faculty of Arts at the University of Calgary, located in the Province of Alberta at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, is pleased to announce two Postdoctoral Fellowships available in two areas of scholarship: 1) Justice, Equity; and Transformation and 2) Connection, Community, and Culture.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

We invite scholars from diverse areas represented within the Faculty of Arts, from within and across the social sciences, humanities, and visual, creative, and performing arts. Applications should clearly demonstrate research excellence.
Postdoctoral Fellowships will be tenable for two years (non-renewable) with the value of $75,000 per year distributed in the following way: $70,000 for the salary (which includes the extended Health Benefits Plan, which is mandatory for all postdoctoral associates, as well as the employer’s contribution to CPP/EI), and $5,000 research allowance. Up to two postdoctoral fellowships are available to be distributed among the two research areas. The postdoctoral fellowships are open to research in all areas of research/creation in the Faculty of Arts, and Supervisors for all projects must have continuing appointments in the Faculty of Arts. To learn more about disciplines and areas housed in the Faculty of Arts, please visit our website (https://arts.ucalgary.ca/).
While applicants with a strong transdisciplinary background are strongly encouraged to apply, it is not a mandatory requirement for the fellowships. Transdisciplinary approaches will seek to engage and co-produce knowledge and solutions with societal actors, both at the level of individual projects, and at the institutional level within the University of Calgary. Transdisciplinarity can be understood as the inclusion of non-academic stakeholders in the process of knowledge production. Faculty of Arts is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in recruitment, opportunities for training, and research environment. Applicants who wish to work with non-academic stakeholders must provide:
a. A support letter from the partner(s) or
b. A plan for engagement throughout the duration of the fellowship.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Applicants should be within five years of having received the PhD. Special circumstances and career interruptions, such as leaves and other delays, can extend the eligibility window. Please be sure to indicate the duration of and reason for all delays. For applicants who have completed more than one PhD or equivalent, the most recent one will be counted.
• International scholars are eligible to apply.
