Visiting Researcher Stipends (EXPIRED)

The Department of Philosophy and the Bertrand Russell Research Centre at McMaster University are pleased to invite young scholars with an interest in the philosophy of Bertrand Russell and/or the History of Early Analytical Philosophy to apply for Visiting Researcher Stipends. Researchers in the last stages of their dissertation or having completed their PhD no earlier than 5 years prior to the application will be considered.

McMaster University, which houses the Bertrand Russell Archives is one of the leading centres for research on Russell's philosophy. It is also the current home of the Society for the Study of the History of Analytical Philosophy (www.sshap.org)

The purpose of the stipends is to open the Russell Archives to a greater number of scholars, widen the scope of the mandate of the BRRC and stimulate research in history of analytical philosophy at large. Stipends are meant to cover the expenses related to the visit: transportation, room and board up to 1500$. Visiting scholars will be provided with office space, opportunities to discuss and present their work and continued access to the Archives. Visitors are invited to stay for as little as a few days or as long as a few months.

Those interested should submit an electronic version of their cv and a letter of intent to Dr Sandra Lapointe:

lapointe[at]mcmaster.ca

Please direct inquiries to the same.

At least three stipends are currently available for the summer 2013 and the academic year 2013-14. The initial deadline for application is 1 June 2013, but applications will be considered on an on-going basis.
