Acadia University

Subject: Visiting Professorship at Acadia (2012-13)

Dear Colleagues,

Acadia University has recently received some funding to attract and support visiting professors. Our department is particularly interested in supporting an application from a political theorist, who would be willing to spend (at least) a full semester at Acadia, and teach one (or more) courses. Payment for teaching would be at the contractually specified rate ($5550 per 3-credit hour course), and would be in addition to the visiting professorship award. In addition to a small but vibrant politics department, Acadia is also home to a new and dynamic interdisciplinary graduate program in Social and Political Thought.

Award description:
“These awards will provide incremental support to outstanding scholars around the world looking for opportunities to visit and collaborate at Acadia. We anticipate awards in the second year ranging from $5-$20K, to support both emerging and well established scholars. Use of these funds can vary from covering full costs of brief, intense visits for collaboration on specific research and pedagogical issues, to covering partial costs of visiting sabbaticants for longer periods. Preference will be given to applicants visiting for at least 6 weeks in duration who will engage in research and pedagogical activity. All applicants require an Acadia sponsor.”

Inquiries and expressions of interest should be directed to Dr. Geoffrey Whitehall. Please note that the application deadline is March 9.
