The Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies (IGSF) at McGill University invites applications for the position of Visiting Professor. These positions are open to professors who wish to spend one or two academic terms in a university environment in order to carry out research on gender, sexuality or feminist studies.
The Institute offers work space and support, an ongoing seminar program, contact with other professors within McGill and in neighboring universities – all this located at the centre of a stimulating, bilingual, urban environment.
The Visiting Professor positions are ideal for faculty with research leave funding, a portable research fellowship, or sabbatical. Preference will be given to professors who already hold faculty positions. Research funding in the amounts of $1,000 and $5,000 (for the Muriel Gold Senior Visiting Professor position) is available from the IGSF. Applications are competitive.
If interested, please send a proposal that describes in 1-2 pages the research that would be undertaken while in residence as a Visiting Professor, a copy of a recent publication, an up-to-date curriculum vitae and an indication of what period of time over the 2015-2016 academic year you would propose for residence as IGSF Visiting Professor to:
