The Centre for Ethics can accommodate visiting postdoctoral fellows who are funded by Canadian fellowships (e.g., by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC)*) or international fellowships. All ethics-related research projects are welcome.
While visiting postdoctoral fellows do not receive salary support, the Centre provides office space, a computer, library privileges, and access to the university’s electronic resources. Visiting postdoctoral fellows are expected to be in residence and to contribute to the Centre’s vibrant intellectual life through active participation in seminars, workshops and other Centre events. For information on the Centre’s activities and facilities, and its location in the heart of the University of Toronto’s downtown (St. George) campus, please consult the Centre’s website (ethics.utoronto.ca).
Applications are considered throughout the year; to ensure full consideration, however, applications for the 2018-19 academic year should be submitted by May 1, 2018. Applications for yearlong stays are preferred. Other applications should specify the period of the proposed visit: summer (May-August), fall (September-December) or winter term (January-April). To apply, please send a cover letter with the following information to ethics@utoronto.ca:
- Proposed research project
- Source of funding
- CV
- Name of the affiliated faculty member who has agreed to supervise
* Please note that the Centre for Ethics can also provide a letter of institutional support for graduate students who are applying for a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship.
