The successful applicant will be scholar in residence at Carleton University for a period of four months, September – December 2023.

The position will involve teaching one MA-level seminar at Carleton University on a topic in transatlantic relations; the precise topic will be determined in consultation with the successful applicant to reflect their scholarly expertise.

The visiting scholar will receive a stipend to cover travel and accommodation expenses, as well as a fee for teaching. The Centre for European Studies will provide advice to the visitor on finding appropriate accommodation in Ottawa and managing other logistical challenges of the stay.

Applications should include the following documents:

  • A letter of application, explaining the applicant’s interest in the position;
  • A curriculum vitae, including a list of scholarly publications and teaching experience;
