The Canadian International Development Agency-International Development Research Centre- Carleton University-University of Ottawa Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization for the 2004-2005 Academic Year. The Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's Studies at Carleton University and the Institute of Women's Studies at the University of Ottawa, with the support of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), are launching a four year project to allow scholars from the developing world, working in the field of “Gender and Development”, to spend a research term at their institutions. The “Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization” will contribute in facilitating the expansion of gender and development research at both universities, and also provide a unique opportunity for collaboration between feminist scholars in Canada and the developing world. For the Year 2004-2005, we are seeking an English-speaking scholar to be based at the Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's Studies at Carleton University. The Carleton University Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's Studies and the University of Ottawa Institute of Women's Studies are inviting applications for its Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization for the 2004-2005 academic year. The duration of the Visiting Scholar's stay should be for a six (6) month period and within the university's academic year, which runs from September to April. The recipient will receive a generous stipend to cover travel, research and living expenses (including the required medical insurance coverage). The Visiting Scholar will have access to library services, a shared phone and computer facilities. The purpose of this fund is to attract highly qualified researchers from developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, the Carribbean and the South Pacific, working within a “feminist perspective on globalization” in one of the following areas: agriculture, basic education, child protection, health and nutrition, HIV/Aids, information and communication technologies (ICTs), human rights, democratization and good governance, conflict and peacebuilding, private sector development, infrastructure services (capacity building), social and economic equity, environment and natural resource management. The Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's Studies (Carleton University) and the Institute of Women's Studies (University of Ottawa) invite applications from scholars from developing countries, both tenured and untenured faculty, and from post-doctoral, independent scholars who are pursuing critical feminist research. Individuals pursuing a university degree are not eligible.
