The Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) at Carleton University welcomes applications for a postdoctoral fellowship.

The fellow will work under the mentorship of a faculty member at EURUS.
We particularly welcome applications by scholars with a regional specialization in the Russian Federation or South-Eastern Europe. We will also accept applications from candidates whose research relates to other post-Soviet states. As an interdisciplinary institute, EURUS welcomes applications from candidates with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, including History, Political Science, Anthropology and Sociology, Economics, Law and Legal Studies, and other fields in the humanities and social sciences.

We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our University including, but not limited to: women; visible minorities; First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples; persons with disabilities; and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity and expressions.
The postdoctoral fellowship will initially be for a one-year period from October 2017 through September 2018 with an annual stipend of $40,500 (including mandatory benefits). It may be renewed for a second year, subject to review of the fellow’s work and the availability of funds.
The fellow will have (possibly shared) office space and access to library, internet, and computer facilities. Details on Carleton University’s policies on postdoctoral fellowships can be found here.
