The Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (CERES) at the University of Toronto is pleased to announce a generous gift from the Petro Jacyk Education Foundation to fund the Petro Jacyk Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Ukrainian Politics, Culture, and Society at the University of Toronto. The objective of the Fellowship is to support the most promising junior scholars studying contemporary Ukraine and thereby advance academic understanding of Ukrainian politics, culture, and society.
The Petro Jacyk Post-Doctoral Fellowship is available to junior scholars in the social sciences and humanities with a research and teaching focus on contemporary Ukraine. The fellowship is open to recently awarded PhDs (persons holding doctorates for no more than three years at the time of application). The program is advertised internationally and does not have any restrictions with respect to citizenship. The Fellowship runs for twelve months.
The Petro Jacyk Post-Doctoral Fellowship has both research and teaching components. The successful candidate will spend most of the Fellowship period in residence at CERES and a period of time in Ukraine (normally 4-6 weeks) based at the National University of Kyiv–Mohyla Academy. While at CERES, the Fellow is expected to devote her/his time to preparation of his/her dissertation for publication and/or to start a new research project. The Fellow will work closely with an appointed research supervisor and participate in activities of the Petro Jacyk Program for the Study of Ukraine. This will include guest lectures, workshops, and conferences. In addition to research, he/she is expected to teach a one semester course (seminar or lecture) that deals with contemporary Ukraine.
We are grateful to the Petro Jacyk Education Foundation for its continuous support of the study of contemporary Ukraine at the University of Toronto.
